Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 oz fresh ravioli (cheese or spinach filling)
  • 4 oz pancetta, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1. Cook the ravioli: Boil salted water in a large pot. Add fresh ravioli and cook until they float, about 3-4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. 2. Fry the pancetta: In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
  4. 4. Combine: Lower heat in the skillet and add cooked ravioli to the pancetta. Pour in the egg mixture while stirring quickly to avoid scrambling. Add reserved pasta water gradually until achieving desired creaminess.
  5. 5. Serve: Plate the Ravioli Carbonara and sprinkle with extra Parmesan and black pepper if desired.
