Spaghetti Carbonara
Serves 4 | Prep time: 30 min. | Total time: 30 min.
A carbonara sauce is typically made with bacon, eggs, and cheese. We've added a little half-and-half for a silky texture.
Ingredients
1 Pound spaghetti
8oz. bacon (8 slices), cut 1 inch thick crosswise
salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup half-and-half
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.

Note: I added a clove of garlic to the egg mixture and 1/2 tsp oregano and basil for flavor boost.
