配料

4 quarts water

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 ounces dried spaghetti

6 slices chopped thick cut bacon

5 minced garlic cloves

½ cup fresh or frozen peas

2 large eggs

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)

2 teaspoons minced parsley

步骤

boil

Bring 4 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a large pot. Add 8 ounces dried spaghetti to the boiling salted water and cook until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Reserve the hot pasta water.

cook

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, add 6 slices chopped thick cut bacon and cook until crispy about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted and set aside on a plate. Drain off excess bacon grease, adding back 2 tablespoons grease to the pan.

heat

Heat pan over medium-high heat, add 5 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add ½ cup fresh or frozen peas to the pan and cook 30 seconds, stir to combine. Turn off heat and set aside until pasta is ready.

toss

Heat pan with bacon and peas over medium heat. Add the hot pasta straight from the boiling water into the pan, reserve the pasta water. Toss the pasta with the bacon and peas for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.

mix

In a large metal mixing bowl beat 2 large eggs and 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese together with a whisk. Add pasta mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine until noodles are coated with the sauce.

add

Very gradually add and mix ¼ cup pasta water to the noodles. Stir constantly to combine, until a lightly thickened sauce is created that coats the pasta.

discard

Place bowl of pasta over the pot with boiling pasta water. Make sure that the bowl does not touch the water, discarding some water as needed.

toss

Toss and stir the pasta frequently until the sauce thickens, looks creamy and coats the spaghetti, about 1 to 2 minutes. Make sure to stir and incorporate the sauce on the bottom of the bowl so it does not curdle.

serve

Taste pasta and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve immediately topped with 2 teaspoons minced parsley, parmesan cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper.

Do NOT use protein pasta for this recipe. Results are not as cohesive.
