Carbonara Sauce (Penne / Spaghetti)
Carbonara Sauce is a creamy, indulgent Italian classic that’s rich, savory, and full of comforting flavor. Traditionally made with spaghetti (though penne works well too), this dish combines al dente pasta with a silky sauce of eggs, grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper.

Crispy pieces of pancetta or bacon are sautéed until golden and then tossed with the hot pasta, which gently cooks the egg mixture into a smooth, velvety coating without scrambling it. The result is a luscious, cheesy sauce that clings to every bite.

Served immediately with an extra sprinkle of black pepper and more cheese if you like, Carbonara is creamy yet light, salty, and perfectly balanced — a timeless favorite for anyone who loves a simple but satisfying pasta!
