I want to devote this article to the delicious cuisine of Italy, and in particular to the national dish - Spaghetti Carbonara. Speaking of Italy, Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Venice, gondoliers immediately come to mind. And of course, the "highlight" of the national cuisine - pizza, paella, pasta, lasagna and much more. We all know how incredibly diverse and delicious Italian cuisine is. There are hundreds of pasta recipes alone, although perhaps even thousands. One of the most common types of them is the famous spaghetti carbonara.
For many, this particular type of food is the most delicious, and at the same time quick to prepare. It is Carbonaru - ordinary boiled pasta with various additives such as olive oil, bacon (ham), cheese, eggs, and sometimes cream. Actually, under the name carbonaro, I mean the sauce or gravy with which the boiled pasta is filled. The most important thing in cooking is not to overexpose the sauce. He should gradually reach the spaghetti themselves, feeding on their heat.
In the classic national Italian Carbonara, special bacon is used - guanchiale, and cheese - parmesan or pecorino romanno (cheese made from sheep's milk). However, in our country, these products can be replaced with ordinary ham and Russian cheese.

Cooking spaghetti with bacon and cheese
1. Cut the bacon into thin slices or slices. To make it easier to cut into thin slices, keep it in the freezer for 15 minutes beforehand.
2. Peel and chop the garlic.
3. Grate the cheese on a medium, or preferably on a coarse grater. Although this is a matter of taste.
4. Drive the eggs into a deep container, season a little with salt and whisk. They do not need to be strongly beaten with a mixer, it is only necessary that the yolk mixes with the protein.
5. Dip the spaghetti in boiling water and cook until al dente. That is, they should remain a little raw, and they will come to readiness with pasta. To get "al dente" it will be enough to cook the pasta for 1 minute less than indicated on the package.
6. Pour olive oil into a frying pan, add garlic and fry. When it turns golden, remove it and discard it. It is necessary that he only give up his taste and aroma.
7. Place the pieces of bacon in a skillet and fry them on both sides until crisp, literally 1 minute on each side.
8. Then do everything quickly. By this time, you should have cooked the spaghetti. So, transfer the pasta to a sieve, while you do not pour water in and do not rinse them, otherwise they will become cold. Dump them immediately into the pan. Turn off the burner on which the pan stood immediately and pour the beaten eggs to the pasta. Mix everything quickly. If necessary, if the spaghetti is a little thick, pour a little water in which they were cooked.
9. Put the food on a plate, sprinkle with cheese and immediately serve Carbonara to the table.
