Colleen's Life: Spaghetti Carbonara

Thanks to my husband (and his wonderful company - Wayfair.com) I now have a new and awesome recipe to file away. Jeff found this recipe for Spaghetti Carbonara (here is the link to where he found it: http://www.wayfair.com/blog/2013/02/13/spaghetti-carbonara/ ) and I made it last night. It was DELICIOUS! For this post I'm going to pretend I have my own cooking blog and post the pictures I took while making it. I used to want my own cooking show as a kid. I was "Julia Childs" and I showed the world how to make pb and j sandwiches. Well okay, maybe not the "world" but definitely the imaginary audience sitting in front of me in my parent's kitchen.
Here is the recipe for Spaghetti Carbonara:

Ingredients:

1 pound spaghetti
1 pound pancetta or bacon, chopped
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
2 large egg yolks
½ cup grated Romano cheese
Handful of fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
Generous grinding of black pepper

Method:
Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When water is rolling, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente, about 8 minutes, reserving ¼ cup pasta water.
While pasta cook, heat large skillet over moderate heat. Saute pancetta in a drizzle of oil until it browns, 3 to 5 minutes Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and crushed pepper flake. Saute garlic 2 minutes. Add wine to the pan and reduce liquid by half, 2 minutes.
Beat together egg yolks, cheese, and while whisking vigorously, stir in a ladle of the boiling pasta water. Beat in parsley and pepper and set aside.
Drain pasta. Add pasta to pan with sauce. Toss pasta with pancetta, then add egg mixture and toss 1 minute, then remove from heat. Continue to toss until sauce is absorbed by and thickly coating the pasta. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve with extra cheese, for passing.
