Steps:
- Put 1/2 inch of olive oil in sauté pan.
- Add 2 cloves (or more) chopped garlic, onion and bacon cut into small squares.
- Let simmer 30 minutes, don't let mixture boil!
- During last 10 minutes of simmering add crushed red pepper flakes if using (I used 1 teaspoon).
- In bowl, beat 4 eggs with lots of salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Cook spaghetti until al dente.
- Drain and immediately add egg mixture to pasta. (The pasta needs to be real hot in order for the eggs to cook).
- Stir until eggs are cooked.
- Mix into sauté pan and finish with the grated cheese.
- ENJOY!
SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA: THE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE
This dish was created in the Lazio region (the area around Rome) in the middle of the 20th century, after World War Two. We don't use cream, milk, garlic, onions or other strange ingredients; we use only guanciale, eggs, pecorino cheese, and lots of black pepper (carbonaro is the Italian for coal miner). This isn't the Italian-American version, it's the real, creamy carbonara and it comes right from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add guanciale (see Cook's Note). Cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk eggs, half of the Pecorino Romano cheese, and some black pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour egg mixture over pasta, stirring quickly, until creamy and slightly cooled. Stir in guanciale. Top with remaining Pecorino Romano cheese and more black pepper.
