What the fuck? Boiled garlic and bacon?
Get the pancetta nice and crispy in the pan, add the garlic in the final minute before finishing. Add your pasta (2 minutes under al dente) fresh out of the water into the hot pan with as much carry over liquid as you can to deglaze, toss like your life depends on it (it does.), cut the heat, then add your mixed yolks, parm and fresh black pepper. Allow the carryover heat to thicken the sauce along with vigourous stirring to get the starches emulsified with the egg and cheese. Add more cracked pepper to your taste. Maybe a pinch of crushed chilis. Add pasta water and stir to reach your desired texture.
Don't fucking boil your bacon and garlic.
What i meant; fry them first a bit, then cook the spaghetti with so it takes the taste on.
You explained this so much better than my attempt, and with a well balanced amount rage 🤌
Pancetta?! Guanciale. But pancetta's OK too if it's all you've can get.
I figured Pancetta was the more readily available ingredient. Nonna always used Pancetta anyway.
Def. Just don't boil it. Hahah
