How to make pasta carbonara.

You opened the Billing dropdown looking for payment options and found a recipe instead. No refunds on the next five minutes. Let's cook.

Golden croutons crisping in a pan

1. The guanciale

Cut it into cubes and let it crisp slowly in a cold pan brought to heat. No bacon, no pancetta if you can help it. Guanciale is non-negotiable, much like your plan's renewal date.

Fresh eggs

2. The eggs and the pecorino

Four yolks, one whole egg, and a snowfall of pecorino romano, beaten into a thick paste. The creaminess comes from eggs, never cream. Cream in carbonara is a crime and we do not support crime.

Spaghetti cooking

3. The spaghetti

Salted water, al dente, no oil in the pot. Before draining, steal a cup of the starchy water. That liquid gold is your emulsion's best friend.

Pecorino romano cheese

4. The marriage

Off the heat, always off the heat. Hot pasta goes into the egg paste, toss fast, splash in pasta water until it turns glossy. Low latency, high stakes, zero scrambling. You get one shot at this step.

Finished pasta carbonara

5. Serve immediately

Black pepper on top, cracked loud enough to hear. Eat it standing over the pan like a person with no logging policy, because what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen.

Total: about 20 minutes and zero crypto.

The only transaction here was between you, the pan, and the pasta. For the kind you pay in Oxapay, that button still works.
