Tips:
For the best results, use high-quality ingredients.
Freshly grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses will give you the richest flavor.
Do not overcook the spaghetti.
It should be al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly after it is drained.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out.
Serve the carbonara immediately to prevent the sauce from congealing.
