This is my take on Spaghetti Carbonara. Its a great mid week dinner, as its quick, and only has a few ingredients, and we all need a few of these easy recipies up our sleves.

Ingredients

500 gms dried linguine past
3 tbs olive oil
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 onion finely diced
3/4 cup pecorino grated
200 gms diced pancetta
3 eggs
1/2 teas salt
1/2 teas pepper

Method

Cook linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a medium fry pan until lightly browned.
Add the pancetta and cook for 5 minutes or until crisp.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Beat eggs with salt and pepper, add the cheese.
Drain the pasta reserving 1/4 cup of cooking water and add to the pancettea.
Working quickly add the egg mixture to the pan, add the water to loosen the sauce.
Serve with extra cheese and some fresh basil.
