Seafood Carbonara

Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti Adoro 500g
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 4 yolks
  • 1 cup guanciale cut into long strips
  • 2 cups smoked tuna cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 4 tablespoons bottarga grated

Instructions

  • To prepare the seafood carbonara, start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Cut the guanciale into ¼ inch slices and then into ¼ inch strips.
  • Pour the pieces of guanciale into a sauté pan and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes over low-medium heat, to render the fat and get it crispy. Once crispy, remove it from the pan and turn off the heat.
  • Cut the smoked tuna into cubes (save a couple of tablespoons for garnish) and add it to the pan, off the heat, with the guanciale fat.
  • Crack the 4 yolks and 2 whole eggs in a bowl.
  • Chop the parsley and set aside.
  • In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in boiling water until it is al dente.
  • Strain the spaghetti very al dente, reserving one cup of the pasta water, and add the pasta to the pan. Add a few ladles of pasta water and mix continuously to create a sauce with the guanciale’s fat. Add all the crispy guanciale, but a couple of tablespoons to keep for garnish. Add the parsley.
  • Remove from the heat and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir quickly to combine to obtain the famous carbonara creamy sauce. If needed, you can add a little pasta water.
  • Mix one last time and serve the spaghetti carbonara immediately, adding the rest of the tuna and guanciale to garnish and a pinch of black pepper.
