Spaghetti Carbonara
  1. Cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions in a large pot of salted water. DO NOT DRAIN. While pasta is cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet. When bacon is cooked and slightly crispy, remove from skillet and drain all but about 3-4 tablespoons of the remaining bacon grease from the skillet. Crumble bacon.

  2. Return skillet to stovetop and reduce heat to low. Stir in garlic and heat until garlic becomes golden brown and fragrant.

  3. Beat together eggs, cream, and pepper. Stir in about ½ of the grated cheese to the egg mixture. Add a ladle or two of the hot pasta water and stir well.

  4. Using tongs, take pasta directly from pasta water to the skillet. Add crumbled bacon, egg mixture, and remaining Parmesan to pasta. Toss together until everything is mixed together.

  5. Serve immediately. If the pasta becomes too dry, spoon in some of the reserved pasta water or heavy cream a little at a time. Garnish with black pepper and extra grated cheese.
