Spaghetti Carbonara Recipes

Ingredients

-1 pound spaghetti
-8 ounces (8 slices) bacon, cut 1 inch thick crosswise
-Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
-3 large eggs
-3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
-1/2 cup half-and-half

Directions

Set a large pot of water to boil (for pasta). In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 12 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Salt boiling water generously; add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and half-and-half. Set aside.

Drain pasta, leaving some water clinging to it. Working quickly, add hot pasta to egg mixture. Add bacon; season with salt and pepper, and toss all to combine (heat from pasta will cook eggs). Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmesan cheese.
