Maple Syrup-Glazed Bacon Breakfast Carbonara image

Inspired by the movie "Elf", this carbonara will help your kids feel the North Pole spirit! You're basically taking a maple syrup-glazed bacon and using it to make a carbonara sauce. Super easy, super quick, and your kids will love it! PS: The most important thing here is your ratio of pasta to bacon to cheese...you can add more or less maple syrup as you see fit! Serve with a side of eggs to very happy children!

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound bacon, diced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 eggs
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally and sprinkling with garlic powder, until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs in a separate bowl. Mix in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and black pepper.
  • Remove bacon onto paper towels to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the oil and bacon grease in the pan. Return bacon to the pan, stir in maple syrup, and bring to a simmer. Quickly turn heat down to low and let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta in a strainer set over large glass bowl. Pour 1/4 cup of the pasta water into the skillet with the bacon; stir. Add pasta and toss until coated.
  • Pour remaining pasta water out of the large bowl. Drop the coated noodles into the bowl. Pour in the egg mixture and quickly toss with the pasta until cheese has melted and sauce is creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

BREAKFAST CARBONARA



Breakfast Carbonara image

Alton Brown developed this recipe for his book "EveryDayCook" because it hits all of the best notes of breakfast in a way that is much more appealing than just eggs, sausage and toast. If you eat pasta early in the day, he reasons, that leaves plenty of time to work it off. He's a fan of cooking in cast iron, and calls for it here. But any good 12-inch sauté pan will do.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
8 ounces dried linguine, preferably whole wheat
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces breakfast sausage, either bulk or removed from its casings
2 scallions, thinly sliced
4 large eggs, room temperature
3 ounces Pecorino Romano, finely grated
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the orange zest, parsley and bread crumbs in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add 2 quarts of water, salt and linguine to a large sauté pan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 4 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the sausage, breaking it into pieces with a spoon, and brown. Add the scallions and cook for a few minutes until fragrant.
  • While the pasta and sausage cook, whisk together the eggs, cheese and pepper.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving a 1/3 cup of the starchy water. Add the pasta to the sausage mixture, tossing well to coat.
  • Remove from heat, add the egg mixture and toss some more, adding some pasta water to loosen the sauce.
  • Serve immediately with a generous sprinkle of the parsley mixture.
