Chestnut carbonara recipe

  • Serves: two people
  • Cooks in: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150g pasta
  • Three rashers of smoked pancetta or streaky bacon
  • 180g vacuum-packed chestnuts
  • Four large free-range eggs
  • 20g pecorino or Parmesan, plus extra to serve

Method

Cook the pasta

Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of starchy cooking water.

With a tablespoon of hot oil in a large non-stick frying pain on medium heat, sizzle the (finely sliced or diced) pancetta.

Once sizzling, crumble in the chestnuts, a pinch of black pepper, and then stir regularly until golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, separate the eggs, putting the yolks into a bowl, then finely grate in the cheese and mix together.

Tip the drained pasta into the chestnut and pancetta pan, then remove from the heat and wait two minutes for the pan to cool slightly.

Loosen the egg mixture with a splash of the reserved pasta water, then pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing with a pair of tongs. Season and serve with more grated cheese on top.
