Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

4

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Set a large pot of water to boil (for the pasta). In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 12 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Salt the boiling water generously; add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and half-and-half. Set aside.
Drain the pasta, leaving some water clinging to it. Working quickly, add the hot pasta to the egg mixture. Add the bacon; season with salt and pepper, and toss all to combine (the heat from the pasta will cook the eggs). Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmesan cheese.
