Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

	Pressurecooker / All my dishes 5 months, 2 weeks ago This is an authentic Italian main dish. It isn't low in calories, but it's very easy and quick, and it's inexpensive as well. My kids ask for it often. It is not supposed to be saucy like fettucini alfredo. Prep:10m Cook:20m Servings:6	Pressurecoo

Ingredients

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.]

1/2 lb. bacon [snipped in 1 inch pieces]

4 eggs [@ room temperature]

3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup cream or milk

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

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.

I make this often too -- Daughter, Son, and myself are all big-time pasta lovers (sorry hubby :)
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, all minced to bits) in the bacon-frying stage....
Great post! Easy, satisfying, and OH SO GOOOD!
