Carbonara
Ingredients
Whole wheat pasta of your choice
3/4 cup milk (soy, almond, cows, you pick! we use almond milk)
2 whole Eggs (try Organic/Cage free/Grain Fed!)
1/2 cup-2 cups freshly shredded/grated Parmesan (depends how cheesy you like it!)
2 tablespoons butter
8 slices bacon (we use turkey bacon)
Optional Seasonings/Additions
-Garlic Salt
-Pepper
-Creole Seasoning
-Red Pepper flakes
-Fresh Basil/Oregano
-Italian Herb grinder
-Cooked Spinach
-Bok Choy
-Chopped Garlic
Instructions:
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
- Cook bacon in skillet (I think the crunchier the better, once cooked, drain grease and cut up or crumble)
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and yolks, parmesan cheese, and half of seasonings.
- When the pasta is done, drain it and quickly put it directly into the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss to coat. The hot pasta will cook the eggs.
- When the pasta is coated with the egg mixture, mix in the butter, bacon, and second half of seasonings. Serve immediately.
*For Creamier Carbonara; add heavy cream, half and half, or more milk!*
Enjoy!
