How to cook deliciously - Classic Carbonara with Pancetta

1. Stage

Whisk together eggs, cream, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Set aside.

2. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta; return it to the pot off heat and cover to keep warm.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Transfer onion to a bowl; cover to keep warm.

4. Stage

Cook pancetta in the same skillet over medium heat until browned; toss with nutmeg. Drain on paper towels.

5. Stage

Combine pasta, onion, pancetta, pine nuts, salt, and pepper in the same large skillet over low heat. Slowly stir in egg mixture, tossing gently, so eggs don't scramble. Cook until just heated through.

6. Stage

Remove from heat and toss with parsley and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
