- 5 Egg Yolks
- 1 cup Pecorino Romano Cheese, grated
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Fresh Parsely, for serving

- In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese and egg yolks.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set the pork aside.

- A carbonara pasta dish is best when eaten fresh, so don’t make too much of it at once unless you plan to feed a crowd.
