Spaghetti Carbonara

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl and grate the Parmesan cheese. Mix the cheese with the eggs and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.

4. 4

   Drain the spaghetti, reserving some of the pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the bacon and garlic.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the egg and cheese mixture, stirring vigorously to coat the pasta. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
