Spaghetti Carbonara

4 stars based on 7 reviews Rate this Recipe

Method

Boil spaghetti in boiling water with salt and a drizzle of oil for 20 mins or until aldente.15 minutes later fry the bacon in olive oil and crush the garlic into the pan, cook until bacon is nice and crisp.Take the pan off the heat and hopefully by this time the pasta should be ready.Drain the pasta in a colander.Then place the drained pasta back in the pan and add the bacon with all the extra juices.Stir in well.Then pour in the beaten eggs and stir in well, try to avoid placing the pan back on the heat because the egg starts to scrambble.Then pour in cream.Add a drizzle of olive oil (optional) and parmasan cheese (optional)and place in a preheated serving bowl.Enjoy!!

Tips

Serve with a french baguette and salad.and a glass of white Italian wine.

I tried making this after seeing the comments and yes I would agree this is a good Carbonara - almost as good as my mum makes and she should know as she comes from the Old Country.

Fantastic recipe I did this except used my own cheese and used chicken breast that had been left to marinate in chopped garlic and mixed herbs all day. also if you are only cooking for less people id lessen the sauce and also i wondered if anyone knew how to thicken it abit? Flour? Thanks loved it!!
