Serve either with a large salad and tomato, or with peas and courgettes. I used to put cream in carbonara, but my Italian friend Fabrizio said to use the pasta water instead!
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions (finely diced)
- 2 large garlic cloves (crushed)
- 200 g lardons
- 250 g Pate d'Alsace (or white tagliatelli)

Method

- Step 2 Meanwhile cook the pasta
- Step 3 In parallel beat 3 eggs into a jug then season and add half the cheese
- Step 4 When the pasta is just cooked, fork it into the onion mixture (reserve the water) then immediately add the egg and cheese mixture, and the remaining cheese.
