    Pasta Carbonara

    Pasta Carbonara - creamy pasta coated in an egg and cheese sauce and topped with bacon. An easy 5 ingredient dish that comes together in under 20 minutes. 

    This post needed a recipe makeover with new pictures, updated points info, and a recipe video. It has been a while since I made it and guys you get a lot of pasta for 1 serving!  4 servings is about a cup and a ½ each. Pasta carbonara can be quite an intimidating dish to make because of the eggs. I remember the first couple attempts I made this dish the eggs ended up scrambling but if you follow the recipe below that will not happen to you! The trick is to turn the heat down to the lowest heat possible after the bacon gets done cooking. Bacon and eggs are a staple item at any breakfast meal and now you can have them for dinner too. 🙂

    Description

    Pasta Carbonara - creamy pasta coated in an egg and cheese sauce and topped with bacon. An easy 5 ingredient dish that comes together in under 20 minutes. 


    Scale

    Ingredients

    • 8 ounces spaghetti (use whole wheat spaghetti for NI)
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup grated Parmesan
    • 4 slices bacon, diced
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Instructions

    1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions.

    2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes; reserve excess fat.

    3. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan; set aside.

    4. Reduce the burner heat to low. Stir in garlic until fragrant with the leftover bacon fat, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in pasta and egg mixture, and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    5. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or more parmesan cheese if desired.

    Serving size: 1 cup

      Seems to be 8 points. We had it tonight for the first time ever. But why the pasta water? I must be missing something. Parsley leaves make it pretty.
