Eggs, Bacon, Black Pepper are the basics. I add some heavy cream, grated parmesan and chopped parsley and it's makes delicious sauce. I recommend some side salad with light vinegrette because Carbonara is a heavy dish...

1/2 lb pancetta, cut into small cubes or strips
1/2 cup white wine
Cook the pancetta until browned, add wine, cook until alchohol cooks off, scraping bits from the frying pan, set aside
3 egg yolks, 1 cup of parmasean or pecorino (or mix the 2 even better), 4 cloves garlic (minced), red pepper flakes to taste, combine and set aside
Cook your pasta, mix in the egg mixture (add pasta water if too sticky), then top with pancetta mixture.
Top with minced parsley, serve immediately.
I love pancetta over bacon, but bacon is a good substitute.

Pasta, bacon, eggs, Parmesan. Those are the basics. However, whatever recipe you find, add garlic and pepper and more cheese.
