Ingredients:

• 6 oz (170 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 oz (115 g) bacon, sliced into thin strips
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• Ground black pepper to taste
• Olive oil (just a splash for sautéing)

Step-by-step Instructions:

1. Grate the Cheese:

   • Place the Parmesan cheese in the Thermomix bowl and blend for 12 seconds on Speed 10 until it turns to a fine powder.
   • Transfer the cheese to a bowl and set aside.

2. Cook the Bacon:

   • Add the bacon strips to the Thermomix bowl along with a splash of olive oil.
   • Sauté for 5 minutes at 120°C on Speed 1 until crispy.
   • Once cooked, remove the bacon and set aside.

3. Mix Eggs and Cheese:

   • Quickly rinse the bowl to avoid any residue, then add the eggs, egg yolks, and the grated Parmesan cheese back into the Thermomix.
   • Season with salt and black pepper.
   • Mix for 15 seconds on Speed 4 until well combined.

4. Combine It All:

   • Return the sautéed bacon to the Thermomix bowl.
   • Important: Ensure the bowl is not too hot, as you don’t want to scramble the eggs.
   • Stir gently to combine.
5. Serve Immediately:
   • Now, toss this delicious sauce with your favorite pasta (like spaghetti or fettuccine) while it’s hot, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat each strand perfectly.

Tips:

• Authenticity Alert: This recipe reflects the traditional carbonara. While many add cream, we encourage you to enjoy the true Italian flavors!
• Pasta Pairing: This sauce pairs beautifully with spaghetti or fettuccine.
• Extra Flavor: For a hint of garlic, consider adding a smashed clove during the bacon sauté.

Now, you’re all set to enjoy a meal that impressively balances richness, savory flavors, and a touch of gourmet dining—all made effortlessly in your Thermomix. Buon appetito!
