Spaghetti Carbonara
This is a Clinton Kelly recipe from The Chew - surprise not Mario's !! Anyhow Kevin had been away for a week in Italy and I had been eating Lean Cuisine all week and couldn't wait to cook. He declared it was the best pasta meal he had all week!! I will take that response. I halved this recipe. See picture with extra parm at bottom. Yummo!

1 lb pasta ( I used Wegman's PICI pasta but the package had been bumped around and was not the nest rather broken pieces which was actually perfect --the texture of that pasta was perfect)
EVOO ( used 2 T but that was really too much and I poured some out after bacon rendered)
1/2 lb thick cut bacon ,diced (I cut it into 1/2 pieces)
2 garlic cloves , thinly sliced (yes I used 2 didn't halve)
4 eggs room temp
1 cup of the pasta water after pasta is cooked
1 c fresh grated parmesan cheese, plus more to garnish
Salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Bring large pot of water to boil for pasta. Start pasta cooking
Saute bacon in EVOO until crisp. ( I had to drain off saving 2 T of oil in pan)
Meanwhile whisk 2 eggs, add parmesan, and black pepper.
In last minute of pasta add sliced garlic and sauté til golden be careful not to burn. Take off heat.
When pasta done take 1 cup of pasta water and whisk into eggs to temper.
Add drained pasta to bacon mixture then add egg mixture and mix together.
Serve and top with extra parmesan.
