Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound of spaghetti
8 ounces of bacon, cut 1-inch thick crosswise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup half-and-half
Cooking Instructions
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
Salt boiling water generously; add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and half-and-half. Set aside
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
Yields about 4 servings
