Kittencal's Classic Spaghetti Carbonara

---

This is a definite italian classic --- the trick to perfect carbonara is to have your spaghetti hot and mix in the eggs very vigorously so the eggs will not scramble -- i most always add in some cayenne pepper for heat but that is only optional :)

---

Steps

---

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with pinch salt.

---

Set aside.

---

In a large skillet over medium heat cook the bacon until crisp.

---

Remove the bacon to paper towels and drain all but about 3 tablespoons fat.

---

Add in fresh garlic and saute for about 1 minute.

---

Add the bacon back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta.

---

Stir / toss for about 1 minute to heat.

---

Remove the pan from the heat.

---

Add in eggs and mix / whisk vigorously until the eggs thicken but do not scramble.

---

Add in the parmesan cheese.

---

Season with salt and black pepper.

---

Mound on serving plates then sprinkle a small amount of finely chopped fresh parsley over each bowl.

---

Serve with parmesan cheese on the side.
