Summer is here, and I bet mommies get even less time to prepare dinner with all summer activity. I have learned to rely on pasta for those must-have-dinner-now moments when kids are starving.
I saw this recipe on Everyday Food program on PBS and it's great. Fancy enough for the good dinner plates, but won't cost you any time at all. This is great served with any recipe from our desserts and/or appetizer themes a few weeks ago.
Spaghetti Carbonara
Serves 4 Prep time: 30 minutes Total time: 30 minutes
A carbonara sauce is typically made with bacon, eggs, and cheese. We've added a little half-and-half for a silky texture.
Set a large pot of water to boil (for pasta). In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 12 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Salt boiling water generously; add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and half-and-half. Set aside.
Drain pasta, leaving some water clinging to it. Working quickly, add hot pasta to egg mixture. Add bacon; season with salt and pepper, and toss all to combine (heat from pasta will cook eggs). Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmesan cheese.
