One Noodle Carbonara

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef with salt and pepper, then reverse sear in an oven at 250°F until the internal temperature reaches about 110°F. Sear on all sides in a pan until golden brown, then slice thinly.
2. Make Pasta Dough: On a work surface, create a mound of flour with a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well, add a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs to form a dough. Knead until smooth and let rest for 30 minutes.
3. Cook the Bacon and Garlic: Cut bacon into strips and fry until crispy. Drain most of the fat, then sauté minced garlic in the remaining fat. Add heavy cream and grated pecorino cheese, adjusting the sauce's thickness as needed.
4. Roll and Cook the Pasta: Roll out the pasta dough thin enough to see your hand through it. Fold into a rectangle, then cook in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes. Transfer to the cream sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
5. Assemble the Dish: Place the cooked pasta in the center of a plate, drape the sliced beef around it, and garnish with more pecorino, black pepper, and an egg yolk in the middle.
6. Serve: To eat, break the yolk and mix with the pasta. Optionally, cut a portion of the noodle, wrap it with a slice of beef, and enjoy.
