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 the best quality ingredients you can find, especially the cheese and the eggs. Freshly grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses will give you the best flavor.
- Do not overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture when you add the eggs and cheese.
- Cook the eggs and cheese slowly over low heat. This will help prevent them from scrambling and ensure that they melt smoothly into the pasta.
- Add the eggs and cheese to the pasta immediately after it has been drained. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Season the pasta to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the pasta immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
Conclusion:
Pasta Carbonara is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
