Second time posting since my original didn't have enough ingredients in the title.
So the substitutions were because of not being able to get guanciale and Pecorino cheese. So I used pancetta and Parmesan. Not even Parmigianino because I was at Aldi and that's what was available. It was a good Parmesan, though. Also, the pancetta was from Aldi and it was nice and chunky and fattier than normal pancetta. Also, I can't eat wheat so I used 100% buckwheat soba noodles.
8oz pancetta
Two packages of buckwheat noodles
6 large eggs
2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp cracked black pepper
I like to get the pancetta nice and crispy. Cook the noodles al dente, then scoop them into the skillet with the pancetta so some pasta water does get in there. Mix it up so the noods are coated in fat.
The eggs, cheese, and black pepper are blended and added to the warm skillet and the whole thing is stirred until the cheese melts and it turns into a creamy sauce. Add a little pasta water as needed
The buckwheat noodles make it not as pretty but, eh, they taste good!
I made [homemade] gluten-free carbonara with pancetta, Parmesan, and 100% buckwheat noodles
