Spaghetti Carbonara
From pressurecooker 16 years agoIngredients
- 1 lb spaghetti [I use whole wheat, which has 12 ounces per box. You will either have less servings or have to use 1/3 of another box if you use w.w.] shopping list
- 1/2 lb. bacon [snipped in 1 inch pieces] shopping list
- 4 eggs [@ room temperature] shopping list
- 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 1/2 cup cream or milk shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Cook spaghetti in boiling water according to package directions.
- While waiting for spaghetti, cook bacon pieces until done. I alternate between getting it crisp and using it soft. When bacon is done, drain, reserving 1/4 cup of drippings with bacon.
- While bacon is cooking, whisk together eggs, cheese, milk and pepper. Set aside.
- When spaghetti is cooked al dente, drain and immediately return to pan. Quickly pour egg mixture and bacon with reserved drippings over and toss together until all pasta is coated. If the spaghetti is hot, it will cook the egg. If you dawdle, you will have a slimy mess.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a little more parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Try it with a bit of pancetta (diced to bits) cooked in with the bacon; I've also been known to add minced garlic, onions, or shallots (again, al...morekukla in Barrie, Ontario loved it
