How to Make Pasta Carbonara

• • Add bacon and water to a skillet and bring to a simmer.
  • Continue simmering until water is evaporated, then continue to cook the bacon until crispy.
  • Remove bacon from the pan and reserve the drippings.
  • Saute garlic in that same skillet until golden brown, then add to a bowl with 1 tablespoon bacon fat, eggs, egg yolk, Parmesan, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti or linguine pasta until al dente. Once cooked, drain pasta and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Slowly pour the hot cooking water into the egg mixture. Then pour over the hot pasta and toss to coat. Add crumbled bacon.
  • Let pasta rest for a few minutes, tossing frequently until the carbonara sauce thickens. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
