Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to boil and cook your pasta following the packet directions. Stop cooking just as it becomes al dente, because it will keep on cooking in the next few steps. Drain, reserving some pasta water for later.
- Crack the eggs in a small bowl and add the grated cheese. Whisk until evenly blended, then set aside.
- Fry up the bacon or pancetta pieces in a large frying pan over medium heat. No added oil required!
- Transfer the drained pasta into the frying pan with the bacon/pancetta and toss through the bacon using a spoon and fork.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest setting or OFF (important!), then pour in your egg and cheese mixture and quickly toss it through the pasta until evenly coated, so it doesn't scramble.
- Transfer into individual serving bowls and serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkling of black pepper and sea salt, and/or some reserved grated cheese.

NO-CREAM CARBONARA
Got this recipe from somewhere in the net, after I browsed for some info about the history of spaghetti carbonara. And to my surprise, the original carbonara didn't even use any cream! Instead it got the "creamy" thingy from the partially-cooked egg.

Steps:
- Get the spaghetti boiling in plenty of salted water.
- Heat olive oil in pan over medium-high heat and fry the pancetta for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Beat the egg lightly using a fork in another bowl.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it but put a bowl under the colander in order to retain some of the water; you may need that later.
- Now return the pasta to the pan, and stir in first the pancetta with the hot oil, and then the beaten eggs. The egg will cook in the heat from the pasta, but here is where the flair comes in; you need to stir the egg into the mix so that it cooks into a cream and not hundreds of pieces of tiny omelette.
- Add the cheese, and if the mixture is too dry, stir in a little of the cooking water from the pasta (no more than a spoonful). Cook until the cheese just starts to melt and the egg is still creamy.
- Serve with coarse-ground black pepper.

CREAMY AUTHENTIC CARBONARA
I found this recipe in an old cookbook that the SO picked up from Goodwill for me. It's so good (and so fattening) and he LOVES it! You can substitute half and half or light cream for the heavy cream to save on fat and cals, and you can also use bacon instead of the proscuitto as it's quite expensive.
