Spaghetti Carbonara with Peas & Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it begins to crisp. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towel lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan. Add the onions and butter and saute until translucent. Add bacon back into pan.
  • Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander (reserve a small amount of the cooking liquid in a small bowl) and return pasta to the pot with the bacon and and onion mixture. Stir over medium heat until pasta is coated with the bacon mixture. Stir in the frozen peas and keep warm.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and heavy cream and add to the pasta, along with the Parmesan. Remove the pot from the heat and toss the pasta until it is well-coated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to help toss the pasta if it is dry. Serve immediately.
