Kittencal's Classic Carbonara

Created by KittenCal on November 18, 2012

1/2 pound bacon, chopped (or 1/2 lb pancetta)
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 pound dry spaghetti (cooked, measure 1 pound before cooking, do not rinse the cooked spaghetti)
4 large eggs, beaten

Step 1: Whisk the eggs in a bowl with pinch salt; set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon to paper towels and drain all but about 3 tablespoons fat.
Step 3: Add in garlic and saute for about 1 minute. Add the bacon back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta; stir/toss for about 1 minute to heat. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 4: Add in eggs and mix/whisk vigorously until the eggs thicken but do not scramble. Add in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5: Mound on serving plates then sprinkle a small amount of finely chopped fresh parsley over each bowl. Serve with parmesan cheese on the side.
