easy bacon carbonara (easy pasta recipe) 🥓✨

Sharing 5 of my all time favorite pasta recipes! These are all delicious, family tested weekly staples that are easy to make. By now means is this authentic, carbonara is traditionally made with Guanciale, however my family loves it with bacon as well!

Ep # 5: Bacon Carbonara 🥓🍝

- 1/2 box of long pasta (fettuccine, spaghetti, angel hair)

- Bacon (as much as your heart desires), cubed

- Pasta water

- Lots of black pepper

- Salt to taste (optional, I omitted it)

Sauce:

- 1 egg

- 2 egg yolks

- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

- 1/4 cup pasta water

Directions:

1. Start by cooking the pasta in salted boiling water.

2. To make the sauce, combine the egg, yolks, Parmesan cheese, and chili flakes. Temper the eggs by adding pasta water little by little and whisk, this ensures the egg to not scramble.

3. Cook the bacon. Set aside to cool and crisp up. Turn the heat off and keep about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pan.

4. Add cooked pasta into the pan along with sauce and bacon. Combine very well, use enough pasta water to get the desired consistency.

5. Finish with lots of black pepper. Season with salt to taste if desired.

6. Serve immediately with more parmesan and crispy bacon on top. Enjoy!

... Read moreBacon carbonara is a delightful take on the classic Italian dish that typically features guanciale. This version is not only quicker but also more accessible for families. With simple ingredients like fettuccine or spaghetti, bacon, eggs, and Parmesan cheese, you can enjoy a satisfying meal in no time. Start by boiling your pasta in salted water, ensuring it reaches the perfect al dente texture. For the sauce, mixing eggs with cheese and seasoning creates a creamy texture without the risk of scrambling the eggs. The key is to combine everything while it’s hot and add pasta water gradually to achieve that silky sauce consistency. Remember to finish off with a generous amount of black pepper for that iconic carbonara kick! If you're interested in variations, consider adding sautéed vegetables or different types of cheese to personalize your dish. This recipe is not just quick but also offers ample opportunities for customization, making it an ideal solution for weeknight dinners or when entertaining guests. Enjoy this family-friendly recipe that brings together flavors everyone loves in just one dish!
