Directions
Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara, Yummy / easy / fast pasta dish, Great weekday meal., Absolutely delicious…..very rarely have white wine in the house, gives me a serious headache, so use just a splash of white balsamic vinegar. Have used bacon, pancetta and even finely diced left over baked ham. Frozen peas if I have them…..chopped parsley if not. I do use 3 eggs or 2 eggs and one yolk for 1/2 lb of pasta and generous pasta water for creaminess. I cook my pork of choice in my largest stainless steel skillet, add a splash of pasta water, eggs, cheese and whatever green I have with lightly drained long pasta. The quantities, proportions here are quite good but I do up the egg, tastes more like what I’ve had in Italy, I thought this was delicious. It’s similar to a pasta carbonara recipe from Tyler Florence that use all the time. This one has the addition of garlic, which is really nice. I also threw in some shrimp with the bacon and wine. Thank you! Made for the Think Pink event in the community forum.
