Spaghetti Alla Carbonara is made with bacon, Parmesan cheese, and fresh eggs. In Italy, Pancetta is used. This dish is simple to make, but elegant. It is an Italian dish with several variations. The most important tip is not to cook the eggs. When they hit the hot pan and the bacon they will cook. If they eggs are overcooked, they will become mushy. In the Philippines, most of the locals add cream to the sauce. In this recipe, however, the traditional Italian method is used which is healthier yet delicious.
