A great way to diversify your home menu is to cook a popular Italian dish – pasta carbonara.
This dish appeared relatively recently. Historians claim that when the allied troops entered Rome in 1944, they brought with them a lot of dried pork as humanitarian aid. Around that time, carbonara pasta has become a favorite folk dish. It was first seen in a cookbook in 1957.
This gourmet dish is perfect for a romantic dinner or a festive lunch with friends. To master this recipe, you will need the most common set of products. The secret lies in the delicate creamy egg sauce, which comes to readiness from the heat of freshly cooked pasta.

Step by step method
Step 1
Cut the brisket into thin oblong sticks. Try to grind it thoroughly. The pieces of brisket should be about the same size, otherwise they will not be evenly distributed in the pasta.
Step 2
Place the chopped brisket in a frying pan, add a little vegetable oil. Reheat the brisket on the lowest heat, avoiding burning. It should just sizzle a little. If you're using bacon, you don't need to add oil.
Step 3
Gently chop the parsley bunch. When the brisket is lightly browned, add chopped greens and stir.
Step 4
Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool on the stove.
Step 5
Only egg yolks are used to make the sauce. Carefully separate them from the whites and place in a deep container. Lightly beat the yolks with a whisk.
Step 6
Gradually pour in the cream. Lightly salt. You can add a pinch of black pepper if you like.
Step 7
Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater and add to the sauce. Stir gently with a whisk. The sauce is almost ready. It remains to combine it with spaghetti so that it reaches readiness.
Step 8
Lastly, boil the pasta. For preparation, follow the recommendations indicated on the package. Drain the spaghetti in a colander and return to the pot. Don't try to cook them ahead of time. They must be hot.
Step 9
Add the fried brisket to the spaghetti and toss lightly. You can use two forks for this.
Step 10
Quickly pour in the prepared sauce and mix vigorously. Within a few seconds, the yolks will thicken and the cheese will melt, enveloping the pasta.
Step 11
Serve the pasta immediately without letting it cool down.
