How it works

  1. Bring plenty of water to the boil and salt it well.
  2. Cut the panceta into thin strips and fry until crisp in a dry pan.
  3. Cook the spaghetti as per the packet, keep a cup of pasta water.
  4. Pan off the heat, stir the sauce and egg yolk with a little pasta water.
  5. Pasta into the pan and toss until creamy – don't cook it any more or you'll get scrambled egg.
  6. Grana Padano and pepper on top. Serve at once.

For children

For kids, just leave out the pepper – carbonara is almost always a children's favourite anyway.

Leftovers for tomorrow

Reheat leftovers briefly in the pan with a splash of water – not in the microwave, or it turns to scrambled egg.
