Put a large cooking pot of water on the heat and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Put a frying pan on the heat and warm a dash of olive oil.

Fry the bacon cubes in the hot pan. Let the bacon get crispy, but stir the pieces of meat regularly.

As soon as the water boils, cook the capellini in it. Cook the pasta al dente, just short of tender, according to the cooking time stated on the package.

Take a mixing bowl and add the egg yolks. Whisk them together with a whisk and grate in the Parmesan cheese. Stir the cheese into the egg mixture.

Pour the mixture of eggs and Parmesan cheese over the warm capellini and gently toss everything together. This will cook the eggs and melt the cheese.

Add the crispy bacon pieces and season with pepper.

Give it one final stir and serve the pasta carbonara with a little extra grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
