Signature Tagliatelle Carbonara with Rolled Pork Belly and Alpine Beaufort Cheese

Ingredients for 4 people
  • 400 g fresh tagliatelle
  • 120 g rolled pork belly (ventrèche)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 50 g thick cream
  • 50 g Alpine Beaufort cheese, grated
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • Salt and ground pepper
Preparation
  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes

Bring 4 liters of salted water to a boil.

Cut the ventrèche into small dice. In a non-stick pan, brown the dice until crisp, then drain on paper towels.

Cook the tagliatelle in the boiling water until al dente. Warm your serving dish in the meantime.

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cream, nutmeg, crispy pork bits, and a few grinds of fresh pepper.

Drain the pasta and transfer to the hot dish. Pour over the sauce and toss—the pasta's heat creates a silky emulsion.

Grate Alpine Beaufort over the top and serve immediately for peak indulgence.
