Spaghetti Carbonara and Curé-Hébert
Ingredients
- 250 g (8 oz) spaghetti
- 45 ml (3 tbsp.) butter
- 8 slices of pancetta, diced
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 leek, finely sliced
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) 15% cooking cream
- 4 slightly beaten egg yolks
- 500 ml (2 cups) of Curé-Hébert, grated
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Fresh basil
Preparation
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the cream and freshly ground pepper.
In a pan, heat the butter and add the pancetta to cook it. Place the pancetta on a paper towel to remove excess fat.
In the same pan, cook the leek and garlic. Add the drained spaghetti and mix with the leek. Add the pancetta. Set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the pasta and mix well. Add the Curé-Hébert and stir until the cheese coats the spaghetti. Season.
Suggestion
Replace the Curé-Hébert with a Noyan for excellent results.
