Update carbonara.md (#450)
That bowl mix was a nightmare for my eyes, unbelievable that such a heresy can be achieved. I included direction 4 as contemporary to 2 and 3: you'll be more efficient this way, since beating the eggs takes about five minutes. Also I never understood why everybody says it's easy, but I guess it is..

## Directions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Combine the cheese, egg and egg yolks in a bowl, together with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper and optionally a dash of whole milk.
|
1. Crack the eggs in a bowl. Add a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper and optionally a dash of whole milk.
|
||||||
2. Fill a pot with just enough water to be able to cook the spaghetti without it sticking together or burning. Use less salt than you would normally. The aim is starchy water.
|
2. Fill a pot with water, and when it boils cook the pasta 1 minute less than advised. Use less salt than you would normally too.
|
||||||
3. Depending on the cooking time of your pasta, you can add it now (8+ minutes and you should be fine). Cook the pasta 1 minute less than advised.
|
3. Fry the guanciale in a dry pan on low to medium heat until the sides are crisp but the insides are chewy. Optionally you can open a sausage and put the insides together with guanciale. See the proportions though.
|
||||||
4. Fry the guanciale in a dry pan on low to medium heat until the sides are crisp but the insides are chewy. Leave the resulting fat in the pan and set the guanciale aside.
|
4. While everything is being cooked and fried, beat the eggs manually using a fork until everything is entirely liquid. Remember to watch the time.
|
||||||
5. When your pasta is almost done, add some tablespoons of the starchy pasta water to your egg/cheese mixture. Mix well, and add more water as needed.
|
5. When your pasta is done (-1 minute), drain it and put it in the bowl with eggs. At this step you may consider the timing: if the pasta is too hot you will cook the eggs, and some people don't like it this way, so just wait for a minute. Keep moving and stirring to fully incorporate the eggs. Add guanciale and as many fats remaining in the pan as you want. Keep moving and stirring.
|
||||||
An option here is to make a bain-marie over your boiling pasta pot to melt the cheese -- this will result in an extremely creamy and well integrated emulsion.
|
6. Plate and optionally garnish with grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Voila.
|
||||||
6. When your pasta is done (-1 minute), remove it to the pan with the fat. Keep it on low heat and mix the fat and spaghetti.
|
|
||||||
7. Now add the egg/cheese mixture and keep moving and stirring to fully incorporate the sauce. Add pasta water as needed.
|
|
||||||
The carbonara is done when the sauce looks a bit runnier than you would like, as it will start to thicken immediately after leaving the pan.
|
|
||||||
Add the guanciale back in and give it a quick toss to mix. Plate and optionally garnish with grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Voila.
