~5 min
2
Once the pancetta is crisp, remove the excess fat from the pan.
3:31
3
Add heavy cream to the pan.
3:49
4
Boil the fresh pasta. Since it is fresh pasta made with just flour and eggs, it cooks in about 2 minutes.
3:56
~2 min
5
Drain the cooked fresh pasta and add it to the sauce in the pan.
5:03
6
With the heat off, grate in the Parmesan cheese. There is no need to rush and stir at this point.
5:14
7
Turn the heat back on, toss everything lightly, and once it thickens, the classic carbonara is done.
5:24
8
[Variation] Melt butter in a frying pan.
7:37
9
Add slightly less than 1 teaspoon of Jinhua ham paste (even less is fine). Cook until the bubbles grow larger, the moisture evaporates, and it becomes slightly browned.
8:18
10
Add the cooked fresh pasta to the pan and toss to combine. Add olive oil if you like.
8:46
~2 min
11
To finish, add heavy cream to mellow it out, then add the egg. If the egg looks like it may curdle, add a little water. Cook using only the residual heat.
9:31
12
Use the residual heat to bring everything together smoothly, then plate to complete the variation. Butter and Jinhua ham paste alone give a complex depth of umami.
