THE BEST CARBONARA
Now this is our idea of comfort food. Creamy and rich, it's the quintessential dish for a chilly evening. We like to splurge every once in a while and add a knob of butter to the cheesy egg sauce just to round it out. We've left that option up to you, however. Either way, we can't think of a more classic or satisfying pasta dish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
- Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
- Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, salt, and pepper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta through a colander.
- While the pasta is cooking, add the bacon to a large pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the pan.
- Transfer the drained pasta to the pan with the bacon fat and toss with tongs for 1 minute, until fully coated. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 1 minute.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to the egg mixture and whisk to combine, then carefully pour the mixture over the pasta, quickly tossing to coat. Add the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary until the sauce is creamy and has the consistency of heavy cream.
- Add the bacon and toss to combine. Serve immediately topped with more freshly ground black pepper.
- Enjoy!
