THE BEST CARBONARA
Now this is our idea of comfort food. Creamy and rich, it's the quintessential dish for a chilly evening. We like to splurge every once in a while and add a knob of butter to the cheesy egg sauce just to round it out. We've left that option up to you, however. Either way, we can't think of a more classic or satisfying pasta dish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
- Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
- Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.
DAIKON CARBONARA
From Makiko Oda's cookbook, page 158. It is part of her winter menu. Daikon is Japanese radish, it's very long and white. I've seen them in American supermarkets. It can be eaten plain, but Makiko Oda suggests it be eaten with bread/rolls or pasta. "Daikon leaves" are not an ingredient found on Recipezaar, so it got changed to Daikon sprouts. The Daikon leaves are a good source of carotene and Vitamin C. The powdered cheese should be a white powdered cheese, like parmesan.

Steps:
- Cut the daikon and ham slices into oblong shapes.
- Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan and fry the ham and daikon.
- When the daikon becomes soft, add a little salt and pepper.
- Crack the egg into a bowl and mix the powdered cheese into the same bowl.
- When the egg becomes thicker add it to everything on the pan and fry everything together and put it onto a dish.
- Boil the daikon leaves and cut them down to bite size and sprinkle them on top of the daikon carbonara.
