Smoky Bacon and Garlic Carbonara

Ingredients

• 200 grams Spaghetti
• 4 slices Smoky Bacon
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 grams Parmesan Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, dice the bacon and mince the garlic. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

4. 4

   Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Remove the skillet from heat and toss the hot pasta with the bacon and garlic.

5. 5

   Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing vigorously to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. Add reserved pasta water if needed for consistency.

6. 6

   Season generously with black pepper and serve immediately.
