Super Easy Pasta Carbonara

Recipe #398286 | 25 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Elle Anderson
Nov 7, 2009

This recipe is from The Silver Palate cookbook. It comes together very quickly - especially if you precook the bacon. I usually do it on the weekend in the oven, remove, drain and paper towels on a plate in the fridge. For the weekday meal, I take the bacon out of the fridge, rough chop it and microwave for about 45 seconds. It's easy and delicious.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Saute the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. OR do it before hand in the oven - about 350 for 20 minutes.
  2. 2
    Make spaghetti according to package directions. Cook until al dente and not mushy.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Have bacon, parsley and cheese ready on hand.
  4. 4
    When pasta is done, drain it, shaking breifly and then pour drained hot spaghetti into bowl with eggs. I know this is weird - but the heat of the pasta cooks the eggs. Immediately begin tossing pasta (with tongs works for me) with eggs until coated.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle with bacon dice, parsley and cheese and toss again.
  6. 6
    Serve with salt and pepper.
