A classic carbonara recipe that will serve you well in years to come
Boil a large pan of water and cook the pasta following the packet instructions. Meanwhile, heat a knob of butter in a small frying pan and cook the shallot, garlic and bacon for 5-7 minutes until golden. Beat together the eggs, cream, most of the parmesan and plenty of ground black pepper.
Drain the spaghetti and return to the pan, off the heat. Add the shallot and egg mixtures and toss together until the pasta is evenly coated. Divide between two bowls then scatter the rest of the parmesan over, with a grinding of black pepper to serve.
The "Carbonara" in the name, meaning carbon, comes from the coarsely ground black pepper in this dish. You should use plenty!
