Vandy Carbonara

We love italian food, but since I'm gluten and cow's dairy free it can be hard to find recipes that work for us. I have been perfecting this carbonara recipe for almost a decade!

It is our go to recipe for at home date nights! Literally only takes 10 minutes start to finish. Put the kids to bed early and make this!

Ingredients:

4 ounces cubed pancetta (Boar's Head is nitrate free 🙌)

3 eggs at room temperature

10 heading tablespoons of grated pecorino romano (no cow's dairy in this recipe! 🐑)

One pound gluten free spaghetti (I like Barilla. You really can't tell it's gluten free!)

One cup pasta water

To prep:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and throw in your spaghetti .

While the pasta is cooking, break your eggs and add the pecorino cheese. Whisk it all together until smooth.

Saute your pancetta until crisp.

Drain your pasta, but keep a cup of the pasta water!

Put the pasta and cheese/egg mixture into the pan with the pancetta. Add the pasta water as you mix everything together. You will probably need about 3/4 of a cup of the pasta water you reserved to make it all creamy.

Mangia! 🇮🇹🥂
