DA GOODIES:
Spaghetti Carbonara:
INGREDIENTS
12 oz. spaghetti
Salt
3 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
8 slices bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, save 1 cup pasta water.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and Parmesan until combined.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cooked spaghetti and toss until fully coated in bacon fat. Remove from heat. Pour over egg and cheese mixture and stir until creamy (be careful not to scramble eggs). Add pasta water a couple tablespoons a time to loosen sauce if necessary.
Season generously with salt and pepper and stir in cooked bacon.
Garnish with parmesan and parsley before serving (optional)
