Pasta Carbonara

This is a great and simple dinner recipe. Traditional versions have the raw egg added directly to the pasta as it's served-- but growing up my mom would have my dad fry it up a bit after and I love the texture it creates!

• 8 strips bacon
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 12 ounces spaghetti
• cracked black pepper & coarse salt

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente (approximately 10 minutes) 
2. Cook 8 strips of bacon in a pan until lightly crispy. Let cool and crumble into back bit sized pieces. Reserve.
3. In the meantime, combine eggs, parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper and coarse sea salt in a bowl. Reserve. 
4. When pasta is done, drain well and put back into pot over high heat. Add egg mixture and bacon and combine. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
5. Top with extra parmesan and serve.
