Title: Pasta Carbonara Krbs41a
Categories: Pasta
Yield: 4 Servings
1/4 lb Bacon, chopped
Garlic clove, finely minced
3 x Eggs, lightly beaten
1 c Parmesan
Milk or heavy cream
1/2 lb Pasta
Put water on to boil pasta. In another large pot, cook the bacon
until browned. Add garlic, stir once, remove from heat. Cook pasta,
meanwhile, beat eggs, cheese and milk or cream. The consistency
should be like wallpaper paste. You may need to add more milk or
cheese since some cheese will absorb more liquid. Put bacon pan back
on the heat, drain pasta and add to pan. Toss well. Pour egg, cheese
mixture over pasta, bacon mixture. Toss. The heat of the bacon and
pasta will cook the egg mixture into a creamy sauce. Add lots of
fresh ground pepper. Suggestions: Add slivers of proscuitto or plain
deli ham, and/or saute thinly sliced mushrooms with the bacon.
