PASTA  CARBONARA RECIPE

Spaghetti in a rich, creamy sauce made from beaten eggs, freshly grated cheese, and chopped bacon. It’s a simple, quick, easy-to-make meal, but luscious and sophisticated all at the same time.

 INGREDIENTS

– 1 pound spaghetti – 8 slices thick cut bacon diced – 2 garlic cloves minced or pressed – 4 large eggs – 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano – Salt and black pepper to taste – 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Cook pasta according to package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from the skillet and pour off all but two tablespoons of bacon grease.

Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for one minute on low heat. Remove from heat.

In a large serving bowl, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Set aside. When pasta is done, reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain well.

Add ¼ cup hot pasta water and drained pasta to the skillet with the bacon grease. Add bacon and gently toss to combine, and cook 1 minute over low heat.

Add hot pasta to the egg/cheese mixture in the bowl and stir quickly to coat pasta. Stir in additional pasta water a little at a time until a creamy consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
