A bit of Italy!

Hey there everyone, today I'll be teaching you how to make pasta carbonara one of my favourite Italian dishes. Now there are two ways to make this pasta there is the way using cream out of a container which is the easier version and the other way were you make your own from scratch, I'll be teaching you the latter which is the traditional version and in my opinion the much better tasting version, especially when you perfect it. You might have a few bombs the first time as it can be a little tricky to get the mixture completely right but you'll be having mouth watering pasta soon.

What you'll need: 4 eggs, parmesan cheese, pasta or spaghetti or you choice (the recipe works with both), pancetta (bacon bits),

The recipe:
Firstly start cooking your pasta al dente, or thoroughly cooked however you prefer it, and while that's cooking we'll start to make our cream, whisk about 4 eggs for about 500g of pasta, put salt and pepper into the mix and start shredding parmesan cheese into your mix and after you've done that grab your bacon and put it into a small frying pan and cook it for approx 5 mins or until it is slightly crispy.
When your pasta is cooked strain all the water into the sink and immediately chuck your pasta back into your cooking pot and put it back on the stove on the lowest possible heat and throw in your cream and mix it around the pasta for about two minutes until you see the egg has been half cooked or a bit more and throw in your bacon top with extra parmesan if you're a fatty like me and enjoy your meal.
