Welcome to Panlasang Pinoy!
Today we will be cooking Carbonara - Filipino Style.
These are the ingredients that we will be using for this recipe.
Bacon
This is the all-purpose cream.
Spaghetti. Grated Parmesan Cheese.
This is the onion. Garlic. 
Nutmeg and Knorr Beef Cube.
We will also be using water.
Here is the complete list of the ingredients together with their respective quantities.
If you are ready, let us now start cooking.
We will just be heating a pan. And since the pan that we are using is quite small, I have just cut the bacon into half for it to fit into the pan.
We will be cooking the bacon until it becomes crispy.
What we need is a crispy bacon.
While we are making the bacon crispy, the oil in it is also being extracted.
What we need is a crispy bacon and its grease as well.
What I am doing is that I am cooking the bacon for about 2 minutes. And then, I will turn it upside down.
I am repeating the process until I achieve the texture that I want in my bacon.
I am doing this for the bacon not to get burnt while I'm making it crispy.
Once it is now crispy, we will remove the bacon one at a time from our cooking pan and put it on a clean plate.
After that, we will just continue with the cooking of the remaining bacon we have.
We will just set it aside first and then we will cook the spaghetti.
We will just be placing water on a cooking pot and we just need to boil it.
After that, we will add salt in it. What I am using here is the Coarse Sea Salt. The salt which is of quite large in size.
We are adding salt into the water so that the spaghetti can absorbed it later on for it to have taste.
We will now place the spaghetti.
It is important to read the packaging instructions. Usually it takes 9 to 12 minutes until it is cooked.
For this instance, we will boil the spaghetti for 12 minutes for it to become al dente.
After we have boiled the spaghetti for 12 minutes, we will just remove it from the cooking pot.
And we will just let it cool down.
Do not throw the used water yet since we will be using it later on.
Now we are ready to cook our sauce.
We will just heat the bacon grease and then we could now saute the onion.
I have just chopped this "sibuyas" or yellow onion into tiny pieces.
We just need to saute it for about 30 seconds then we could add the garlic.
This is our minced garlic. This is the garlic that I have crushed and as well as chopped it into small pieces.
We will just continue to cook it until the onion softens completely.
We will now add here the all-purpose cream.
We could also use table cream or heavy whipping cream in here.
We just need to mix it
and let it boil.
After that, we can now add the Knorr Beef Cube.
I am using this for us to have a richer taste of beef here in our Carbonara.
This makes our dish more delicious and flavorful.
We will now add the bacon. What we have done with the bacon that we have fried earlier is that, we have chopped it into bits.
We will just be mixing it and then we could now add our ground nutmeg.
This nutmeg is only an optional ingredient but it greatly helps to make our Carbonara more delicious.
We will just be mixing it.
After that, we will just be getting some of the water that we have used to boil our spaghetti a while ago.
Around 3 tablespoons of it is what we will be needing.
Mix it and continue with the cooking.
As you would know, it is just so easy and quick to cook a Carbonara.
And at this moment, our sauce is ready. That is just how fast it is.
We can now add here the spaghetti that we have cooked earlier. We will just be combining it.
We will just place all of the spaghetti.
Then we will just be tossing it.
We will just make sure that the Carbonara sauce had coated our spaghetti completely.
After that, we will just be adding grated parmesan cheese.
If there is no parmesan cheese available, you could also use shredded or grated cheddar cheese.
We will also be adding extra bacon in it for it to become more delicious.
And then after, we could now served it.
This is now our Filipino Style Carbonara.
Come and let us now eat.
