Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara Delight
A classic Italian dish with a luscious creamy sauce and crispy bacon that’s pure indulgence!
Ingredients:
For the Pasta
12 oz (350 g) spaghetti
6 slices of bacon or pancetta, sliced
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped chives
Instructions:
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
Prepare the Bacon:
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving a bit of the bacon grease in the pan.
Make the Sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream (if using), and a generous pinch of black pepper.
Combine Everything:
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the bacon grease and toss briefly. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly mix in the egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid scrambling. Use reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency if needed.
Finish and Serve:
Stir in the crispy bacon pieces and top with chopped chives. Serve immediately for a creamy, comforting delight!
