Super Easy Pasta Carbonara Recipe

Name: Super Easy Pasta Carbonara
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb pasta (I like cavatappi); 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil; 1/2 lb pancetta, diced; 1/2 lb thick cut bacon, chopped; 5 garlic cloves, slightly bruised and skins removed; 1 cup dry white wine; 1 1/2 cups pecorino cheese; 2 eggs; lots fresh ground black pepper; fresh parsley, to finish off

Servings: persons

1
Bring salted water to a boil and add pasta.
2
Cook pancetta, bacon, and garlic with olive oil in a pan. You'll want the garlic to turn a nice golden (not burnt!) color.
3
While this cooks in a seperate bowl (make sure it's large enough to mix with all ingredients at the end) mix the cheese, 2 eggs, and pepper. Set this aside until pasta is done.
4
When pancetta and bacon is crisp and garlic is golden add in the cup of white wine and scrap the little bits off the bottom of your pan. Cook for a few minutes to let the flavors come together.
5
Drain pasta and let cool slightly, maybe 1 minutes.
6
Add to bowl with cheese and egg mixture and stir, stir, stir! I stir until most of the cheese seems melted, then add in the bacon mixture and stir some more. Top it off with fresh parsley and enjoy!
