Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the cheese-filled ravioli, cooking for about 3-5 minutes for fresh ravioli or 8-10 minutes for frozen. Reserve 120 milliliters of pasta water, then drain the ravioli.
- In a medium skillet, heat it over medium heat and add diced pancetta or bacon. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add unsalted butter and melt over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Gradually pour in heavy cream and whole milk, warming and bubbling for 2-3 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly add spoonfuls of warm carbonara sauce to the yolks while stirring constantly. Pour the yolk mixture back into the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened.
- Carefully add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing in the creamy sauce. Fold in the crispy pancetta and use reserved pasta water if necessary to achieve desired sauce consistency.
- Transfer portions onto plates, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley, and add a pinch of black pepper. Serve immediately.
