Spaghetti Carbonara
Serves one
4-6 oz. dried spaghetti
2 tbsp olive or canola oil
2-3 strips bacon, cut into bits
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten with a fork
black pepper, to taste (I like it spicy!)
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt, if desired. Add
pasta and stir until water returns to boil. Cook uncovered, stirring
occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until _al dente_ (tender but not
soft). Meanwhile, heat oil in frying pan and cook bacon until
crisp. Drain spaghetti, saving 4 tbsp of the cooking water. Return
spaghetti and cooking water to the pot. Pour in olive oil, add
cooked bacon bits, Parmesan, beaten eggs and pepper, and quickly
toss. (the heat of the pasta will cook the eggs) Pile onto a warm
plate, sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese and enjoy! Looks and
tastes terrific with green peas or snow peas.
