I always do all my prep before I start cooking - a lesson I learned the hard way the first time I tried to make a carbonara.

First, I prepped my asparagus and spring onions. Anneta Konstantinides/Insider

I also prepped the snow peas and chives.

Then I cut my snow peas and minced my chives. Anneta Konstantinides/Insider

I also got my lemon ready to go.

My last step of prep was filling a large bowl with hot tap water.

It was time to get cooking! First, I got my pancetta going.

I cooked my pancetta for around eight minutes. Anneta Konstantinides/Insider

As my pancetta cooked, I started on my pasta.

Once the eight minutes were up, I saved a cup of the pasta water and then added some of the veggies.

Just before I drained my pasta, I prepped the carbonara sauce.

After two minutes were up, I drained my spaghetti and veggies.
