SUPER EASY PASTA CARBONARA
The wine really sets this recipe off! It's super simple and a go to favorite of mine that I could eat everyday! Sometimes if I don't have pancetta I'll just use bacon and occasionally if I have leftover priscutto I'll throw some of that in there as well. This is the easiest, tastiest carbonara recipe I have ever made!

Steps:
- Bring salted water to a boil and add pasta.
- Cook pancetta, bacon, and garlic with olive oil in a pan. You'll want the garlic to turn a nice golden (not burnt!) color.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain pasta and let cool slightly, maybe 1 minutes.
- 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!

SUPER EASY PASTA CARBONARA
This recipe is from The Silver Palate cookbook. It comes together very quickly - especially if you precook the bacon. I usually do it on the weekend in the oven, remove, drain and paper towels on a plate in the fridge. For the weekday meal, I take the bacon out of the fridge, rough chop it and microwave for about 45 seconds. It's easy and delicious.

Steps:
- Saute the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. OR do it before hand in the oven - about 350 for 20 minutes.
- Make spaghetti according to package directions. Cook until al dente and not mushy.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Have bacon, parsley and cheese ready on hand.
- When pasta is done, drain it, shaking breifly and then pour drained hot spaghetti into bowl with eggs. I know this is weird - but the heat of the pasta cooks the eggs. Immediately begin tossing pasta (with tongs works for me) with eggs until coated.
- Sprinkle with bacon dice, parsley and cheese and toss again.
- Serve with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for good quality pasta, eggs, cheese, and pancetta.
- Cook the pasta al dente, meaning it should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water to help create a creamy sauce.
- Cook the pancetta until it is crispy, but not too hard.
- Whisk the eggs and cheese together until they are well combined.
- Add the hot pasta to the egg mixture and toss to coat. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs.
- Add the crispy pancetta to the pasta and toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, topped with additional cheese if desired.
Conclusion:
Pasta carbonara is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy and flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give pasta carbonara a try. You won't be disappointed!
