Carbonara with chunky pork

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 400 g pork rashers, roughly chopped
  • 6 free-range egg yolks
  • 1 ½ cup Parmesan, finely grated
  • ½ cup cream
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 400 g Woolworths fresh tagliatelle, cooked al dente

Method

  1. Heat a nonstick frying pan, then fry the pork rashers for 5 minutes on each side, or until crispy.
  2. Mix the egg yolks, 1 cup Parmesan, the cream, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Add the hot pasta and toss using a spoon and fork, coating the pasta in the creamy sauce. Add the pork rashers and gently mix through.
  4. Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan and serve immediately.

Cook’s note: Use a small amount of the pasta water to help emulsify the sauce.
