Spaghetti Thai-Carbonara
carbonara' literally means 'coal miner's wife', some believe that the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian coal miners. Others say that it was originally made over charcoal grills, or that it was made with squid ink, giving it the color of coal.
How to make spaghetti alla carbonara
Ingredients:
Pasta. Traditionally spaghetti, but most kinds will do. About 150 grams per person is usually enough.
Eggs. I usually use one full egg plus one yolk per person.
Bacon. Guanciale is traditional but I prefer pancetta (you can get pancetta at most stores). Normal smoked bacon will work but the pasta will have a smoked bacon-y taste.
Cheese. Pecorino romano is traditional but parmesan works great. Grana padano also works and is cheaper.
And lots of black pepper!

From Wikipedia:
Pasta alla carbonara (usually spaghetti, but also fettuccine, rigatoni or bucatini) is an Italian pasta dish based on eggs, cheese (pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano), bacon (guanciale or pancetta), and black pepper. The dish was created in the middle of the 20th century.
The pork is fried in fat (olive oil or lard), then hot pasta is dropped into the pan to finish cooking for a few seconds. A mixture of raw eggs, cheese, and a fat (butter, olive oil, or cream) is then combined with the hot pasta away from additional direct heat to avoid coagulating the egg, which must remain a liquid component of the sauce as it cooks. Guanciale is the most usual meat, but pancetta, or local bacon are also used.
Cream is not common in Italian recipes, but is often used elsewhere. Other variations on carbonara outside Italy may include peas, broccoli, mushrooms, or other vegetables. Many of these preparations have more sauce than the Italian versions.As with many other dishes, there are ersatz versions made with commercial bottled sauces.
Like most recipes, the origins of the dish are obscure, and there are several hypotheses about it. As the name is derived from carbonaro (the Italian word for charcoal burner), some believe that the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian charcoal workers. The etymology gave rise to the term coal miner's spaghetti, which is used to refer to spaghetti alla carbonara in parts of the United States. It has even been suggested that it was created by, or as a tribute to, the Carbonari (charcoalmen), a secret society prominent in the unification of Italy.
Carbonara was included in Elizabeth David's Italian Food, an English language cookbook published in Great Britain in 1954.The dish is not present in Ada Boni's 1927 classic La Cucina Romana, and is unrecorded before the Second World War. It was first described after the war as a Roman dish, when many Italians were eating eggs and bacon supplied by troops from the United States #barrylewis
