Bacon Carbonara
Ingredients (single serving):
2-3 oz dried spaghetti
2-3 slices of Bacon, raw
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/2 tsp Black pepper
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Cook dried pasta noodles to label instructions in salted water.
2. Cut bacon into half inch pieces and place in a low-heat medium pan coated with olive oil. Cook slowly until bacon is crispy and the fat is fully rendered from the bacon.
3. Once noodles are cooked, strain and place in pan with bacon. Turn off the heat and stir until noodles are coated.
5. In a small bowl, stir together egg, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Pour mixture into bacon pan. (Pan should be cooled enough that the egg does not cook on contact.)
6. Salt to taste, then top with more fresh grated parmesan cheese if desired.
7. Serve and enjoy!
