Step 2

In a pan heat two tablespoons of olive oil then bash a clove of garlic with a knife and throw it in the oil to flavor it for a minute . Next dice some pancetta or smoked pork cheek if you can find it and fry it until it starts to color at which point you can remove the garlic . Garlic is not traditional in carbonara so if your prefer you can leave it out but I think it gives a nice little flavor kick as I love garlic .
