Spaghetti Carbonara - Quick & Easy

Last week for dinner I made a classic Italian dish - Spaghetti Carbonara. I forgot how delicious, yet quick and easy this dinner is to make. With only 5 ingredients taking 15 minutes, dinner was done in a flash.

Spaghetti Carbonara

8 oz spaghetti
2 large eggs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
4 slices bacon, diced
4 cloves garlic, mined
salt & pepper to taste
Optional: garnish with parsley

Instructions:
In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package; reserve about 1/2 cup water and drain well. In a small bowl, which together eggs and Parmesan and set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy (should take about 6 minutes) and remove fat. Stir in garlic, about 1 minute. Stir in cooked pasta and egg mixture and gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the egg "sauce" is too thick, use some of the reserved pasta water to thin. Eat immediately with added parsley garnish (optional).

Voila! And you are done!
