Spaghetti Carbonara
I promise soon I'll make something challenging or innovative from the Fat book. Right now all I have for you is easy, classic and totally delicious Spaghetti Carbonara.
This recipe calls for pancetta, but I used guanciale, because that's what's traditionally used, and I had some, and I really like it. The other minor variation was that I used extra egg yolks. This recipe calls for two eggs and an extra yolk. I cracked two beautiful Soul Food eggs into the bowl, then I cracked open the third egg to discover a double yolk. So of course I used them.
It might have been the extra yolk, but this was the silkiest, custardiest Carbonara I've ever made. Sooo delicious. Sorry about the crappy picture - the light was bad and I was a little toasty.

The picture doesn't do it justice at all. I love carbonara and this was some of the best I've ever had.
