How to Make Creamy Pasta Carbonara with low fat cream, Eggs and Parmesan 🤤❗️❗️❗️🔝

guanciale

🥗Healthier: pancetta

💰Cheaper: bacon

Pancetta is more accessible, while bacon offers a budget-friendly option.

Pecorino Romano cheese

🥗Healthier: Parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Parmesan is a lower-fat alternative, and Grana Padano is often less expensive.

If you have a big piece then cut it according to your preferences, if you bought it already cut then skip this part.

Crush slightly using a knife 3 cloves of garlic, (don't need to chop them as we'll remove them from the pan when the pancetta will be fried).

Separate 3 egg yolks, add 20g of grated Parmesan cheese and mix.

Chop a handful of parsley.

Add some water to a pot and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiling add 1 tbsp of salt and 1 bay leaf (optional), then add 200g of pasta and cook it according to the package instructions.

At the same time preheat a pan and add pancetta without any oil (as the fat will melt and will cook the meat), add 3 cloves of garlic and pepper to taste.

When the pancetta is nice and golden remove the garlic and optional you can drain the excess melted fat then add 270g of low-fat cream and bring it to a boil.

Add the pasta to the pan then add the egg yolks and parmesan mixture, mix it well then you can add more pasta water for more flavour and to adjust the thickness of the sauce.

Mix it well, put it on a plate and serve with more parmesan cheese and parsley.
