Come back often and see what I will concoct next.. I like to create new things. I promise not to post anything until I try it first. I like to use fresh ingredients when available so most of this is cooking from scratch. I am of Italian Heritage so there will be a lot of Italian Foods but there are no boundaries when it comes to creating a meal for people you love.

Pasta Carbonara

This recipe has changed since I posted it last year.
I have made it creamier and according to all who tried it, better.

Ingredients:
1 Lb Spaghetti or Fettuccine
2-3 Tbspns salt to cook pasta
1/2 Lb Bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
2 Lg Eggs, beaten
1/4 C Heavy Cream
1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Pepper
1/2 C Grated Parmesan


Prepare
Cook pasta in salted water
5 minutes before pasta is done cook bacon pieces in skillet till cooked but not crispy
Add garlic to bacon after fat begins to render

In your serving bowl beat eggs with pepper and cream

Drain pasta and immediately pour into serving bowl and toss well. The hot pasta will cook the eggs on contact,
Add bacon, fat and all to pasta.
Add Parmesan and toss well.

Serve
