Pasta Carbonara image

I love making this meal. Doesn't require a lot of ingredients and is fast and easy! You can use any type of pasta noodle you choose. Also sometimes I will add some frozen sweet peas to the dish. Just throw them in while making the pasta.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound(s) spaghetti
1/2 package(s) cooked bacon with bacon grease
6 - eggs yolks
1/4 pound(s) grated pecorino romano cheese
3/4 cup(s) cream
4 ounce(s) cream cheese softened and at room temp. (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the pasta in water (4 quarts) salt water as desired. Boil the pasta al dente
  • While the pasta is cooking, in a bowl beat well the eggs with the cream and some of the freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
  • Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and fry.
  • When pasta is ready, drain it and quickly add the pancetta/bacon along with grease and eggs from the top. This is when you can add the cream cheese.
  • Toss the pasta immediately and very quickly as the heat of the pasta will cook the eggs you may also want to toss it on the flame for 1 more min to cook the eggs a little more garnish with freshly pecorino romano cheese.
