Easy Spaghetti Pasta Carbonara

Ingredients
 

  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 6 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus 1/4 cup for topping
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta following the package directions.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water before draining.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese, then set aside.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, keeping some of the grease in the pan.
  • Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Lower the heat to low.
  • Quickly mix in the pasta and egg mixture, tossing gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Serve right away, garnished with parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.
