Pasta Carbonara


Pasta Carbonara

                Ingredients                    Yield: 4 servings
  • 60g (1c)                   Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 120g (4 thick slices) Bacon, chopped
  • 2                              Eggs
  • 2 cloves                   Garlic, sliced
  • 450g (1lb)                Pasta, noodles preferable
  • Italian Parsley (for seasoning, chopped)
  • Black Pepper (for seasoning, cracked)
                Instructions
  1. Get a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop dried pasta now but if using fresh pasta wait until bacon is rendered.
  2. In a saute pan over medium high heat render bacon and cook until crisp.
  3. While bacon is cooking, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Set aside.
  4. Once bacon is rendered add garlic and sweat until no longer raw tasting. (Drop fresh pasta now if using)
  5. Once pasta is cooked toss it into the pan with the bacon and coat with the fat. 
  6. Remove pan from the heat and add egg mixture. Gently tossing as to not break the noodles. (The eggs should cook and make a thick sauce, but should not appear scrambled in texture).
  7. If more sauce is desired add 60ml(1/2c) of the pasta water at a time and stir well before another addition.
  8. Add pepper and parsley to season. Serve immediately!
