Alexander S Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

Ingredients for Alexander S Spaghetti Carbonara

• 1/3 cup (30g) diced prosciutto ham
• 1/4 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• Cooked Spaghetti
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Alexander S Spaghetti Carbonara

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced prosciutto and chopped onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy and the onion is softened.
2. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
3. Stir in parsley, oregano, and red pepper flakes into the prosciutto and onion mixture. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat.
5. Quickly whisk the beaten egg in a small bowl. Gradually pour the egg into the pasta mixture, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
6. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
