Pot

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

STEP 1

Cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water according to the instructions on the package, then drain and let them cool in the colander.

Meanwhile, grease the inside of a 20 cm diameter cake pan with oil, then finely grate a thin layer of cheese all over the base, shaking it on the sides.

STEP 2

Once the spaghetti are cold, transfer them to a large bowl, gently peeling them off, then beat and add the eggs, along with the cream and a generous pinch of black pepper.

Cut the bacon into strips and cook with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan. Leave to cool.

STEP 3

Add the bacon to the cheese mixture.

Mix well, then pack into the pan and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden, crisp and well done.

Let the carbonara cake rest for 3 minutes in the pan, then carefully and safely slide a knife around the edge and proudly drop it onto a cutting board. Great served with a fresh salad.
