Pasta alla Carbonara:
For 2 persons:
250 gr. of "Bucatini" (a sort of spaghetti with a hole inside) or spaghetti
or short pasta like rigatoni. (we prefer "Bucatini")
2 whole eggs
3 slice of bacon ( thick about 5 millimetres) that you cut in strip large 1
centimetre
4-5 tablespoons of olive oil
20 gr. of Parmigiano Reggiano
20 gr. of Pecorino Romano.

While the water is on the fire, mix the eggs with parmigiano and pecorino
till you make a sort of cream.
Then , in a little frying pan put the strip of bacon and fry them till they
become brown and a little crispy.
When the water boil put bucatini vertically (without broke them) and with
the aid of a long fork push them under the water.
Before they are ready (2- 3 minutes before), strain the pasta.
Put it again in the hot pot, and on the fire at minimum, and mix very
quickly the eggs cream for half a minute. If necessary keep out the pot from
the fire (other way the eggs come too strong and it is no good). At the
end(out of fire) put over the bucatini the strip of bacon with oil very hot
and mix.
Then serve quickly in dishes because the carbonara is good when is hot.
I hope you understand my bad english.
