Ingredients

  • 90 g pecorino
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 150 g bacon chopped
  • 20 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1200 g water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 450 g spaghetti or other pasta

Instructions

Carbonara Sauce

  • Add the pecorino cheese to the Thermomix bowl. Grate for 10 seconds / speed 9. Set aside.
  • Peel the garlic and add to the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 3 seconds / speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat.
  • Add the olive oil and chopped bacon and saute for 10 minutes / Varoma / speed 1 with the simmering basket on the lid in place of the MC. Check if it is crispy enough and if you prefer it to be crispier, repeat for a further 5 minutes / Varoma / speed 1. Set aside in a large bowl.
  • Place the eggs, egg yolk and grated pecorino cheese to the Thermomix bowl together with a good pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix for 15 seconds / speed 4. Add the egg and cheese mixture to the bowl with the bacon.

To cook Spaghetti in the Thermomix

  • Add water and salt to the Thermomix bowl and heat for 10 minutes / 100 degrees / speed 1.
  • Place spaghetti through the hole in the lid and cook for the time indicated on the pasta packet. Check it is al dente before draining.

Assembling the Carbonara

  • Drain the spaghetti and immediately add to the bowl with the bacon and egg mixture. Mix quickly and throughly to ensure all the spaghetti is coated with the sauce.
  • Serve in bowls with an extra grating of pecorino and some freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

If using the TM6 measuring cup (MC), when cooking at temperatures over 95 degrees, Thermomix recommends using the simmering basket on the lid in place of the MC.
To make this dish even quicker, cook the spaghetti in a pan on the stove top while the bacon is cooking in the Thermomix.
