Ingredients:

Spaghetti Carbonara recipe picture 1Italian pancetta - any sort of ham will do, just dice it.
Parmesan cheese - the flavour.
Spaghetti - the actual food part.
Eggs - I don't know why these go in, but they do.
Italian herbs - a bit of pizazz; you can use fresh stuff if you like, but I used premixed jar herbs as they're cheap and quick.
Single cream - I think this would be known as "half and half" in less civilised countries.
White wine - no main course is acceptable without alcohol in it somewhere.

Step 1:

Step 4:

Step 5:
