DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Cook your pasta as per the directions on the packet.
- Fry your Pancetta/bacon over a gentle heat until nice and crispy. set it aside on kitchen paper for later.
- Pour the cream into a saucepan and bring to a simmer (NOT boiling). Now whisk in the egg yolk and then the parmesan. Season to taste with the black pepper and salt. (NOTE: be careful with the salt because the cheese is quite salty)
- Now you can add the pasta, bacon and basil if using it and mix well together.
- Garnish with more Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately.
