Recipe: Carbonara

Here's a Carbonara Recipe that I would like to share with all you pasta lovers out there... 

A carbonara sauce is typically made with bacon, eggs, and cheese. We've added a little half-and-half for a silky texture.

Spaghetti Carbonara

  

Ingredients : Serves 4

·         1 pound spaghetti

·         8 ounces (8 slices) bacon, cut 1 inch thick crosswise

·         Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

·         3 large eggs

·         3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

·         1/2 cup half-and-half

Directions

1.     Set a large pot of water to boil (for pasta). In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 12 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

2.     Salt boiling water generously; add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.

3.     Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and half-and-half. Set aside.

4.     Drain pasta, leaving some water clinging to it. Working quickly add hot pasta to egg mixture. Add bacon; season with salt and pepper, and toss all to combine (heat from pasta will cook eggs). Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmesan cheese.
