Carbonara With Saffron Recipes

SAFFRON SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Place the saffron in a small pot with 1 cup cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let it steep while pasta water comes to a boil, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water and cook pasta to al dente. (Heads up! Reserve a half cup of starchy cooking water just before you drain spaghetti).
• While the water comes to a boil, heat olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until just about crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add in the garlic after 2 to 3 minutes and stir another 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
• Stir in wine and turmeric.
• Beat eggs with starchy cooking water.
• Drain pasta and add to the skillet.
• Pour saffron water over the pasta and toss to combine, season with pepper.
• Add in half the cheese and all of the parsley, pour in tempered eggs and turn off heat.
• Toss the spaghetti to coat evenly in golden sauce.
• Top with additional cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
