Just Enough Spaghetti Carbonara
wellenuffalone.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Traditionally this is made with Pancetta, if I think I may make this in the near future, I have pick up a couple of slices at the deli counter, but it can be made nicely with some good bacon.
Before I made this again, I compared it to a few others online, and inexplicably people add the egg and continue to cook it. So wrong, it's not scrambled eggs with spaghetti, the egg and cheese make the sauce. If it looks a little dry, add a few tablespoons of spaghetti water.
SPAGHETTI CARBONARA
¼ pound of spaghetti (about the diameter of quarter)
1 rasher of bacon
1 clove of garlic, minced
[some minced onion, I like onion]
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg
¼ cup grated parmesan (4 tablespoons)
Fresh black pepper
While the spaghetti is cooking to al dente, cut the bacon into matchsticks
Cook the bacon in olive oil until near crispy,
Add garlic (and onion) cook another minute or two.
Mix beaten egg with Parmesan.
Add spaghetti to the bacon and stir to coat very well.
Remove from heat.
Pour egg and Parmesan mixture over spaghetti and mix through until coated.
The heat from the spaghetti cooks the egg.
