Spaghetti Carbonara is a creamy and flavorful dish made with spaghetti, bacon, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Here is a basic recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 6 ounces bacon, diced
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
  2. In a large saucepan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the saucepan with the bacon. Remove from heat and pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti, tossing to evenly coat the spaghetti.
  5. If the spaghetti is too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water.
  6. Serve the spaghetti carbonara hot, with extra grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
