Instructions

• Step 1: Cook bacon, onion, and garlic Pour a quarter-inch of olive oil into a frying pan and add the onion, garlic, and bacon or pancetta. Cook over medium heat until the bacon is crisp -- eight to12 minutes.
• Step 2: Cook pasta Add pasta to a large pot of boiling, salted water. Boil five to seven minutes.
• TIP: For a healthier version, use turkey bacon and whole wheat pasta.
• Step 3: Beat eggs Whisk the eggs in a small bowl while the pasta is cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• TIP: Add heavy cream to the eggs for extra creaminess.
• Step 4: Add eggs to pasta Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the beaten eggs and stir until thoroughly mixed. The heat from the pasta cooks the eggs.
• Step 5: Combine pasta and bacon mixture Add the bacon mixture to the pasta and toss.
• Step 6: Add cheese Mix in the parmesan cheese.
• Step 7: Enjoy Enjoy this scrumptious dish -- perhaps with a glass of wine.
• FACT: Did you know? The average native Italian eats 51 pounds of pasta per year.
