Looking for a quick, easy, and comforting dinner? I would recommend Pasta alla Carbonara. The meal requires minimal ingredients, can be prepared in no time, and is always a crowd-pleaser. My family keeps bacon in the freezer solely to accommodate this dish. We like it with lots of freshly ground black pepper.
Pasta alla Carbonara
Adapted from Gourmet, March 2003
8 oz. bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 c. white wine
3 eggs
1/2 c. grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano
1 lb. spaghetti
Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water, reserving 1/2 c. pasta water. Beat eggs in a dish, and add in cheese. Set aside.
Crisp bacon in a hot pan. Remove bacon, and set aside. Saute onion in bacon fat until tender. Add white wine to pan, and let simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat. Add spaghetti and pasta water to pan. Pour in egg-cheese mixture, and toss to coat pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
