pasta alla carbonara

spaghetti
salt
olive oil
garlic cloves, minced
onions, minced
uncooked bacon, cut into squares
eggs (one per person)
fresh parmesan cheese

in a frying pan...put in olive oil until 1/2 inch tall in the pan. heat on a medium heat. add minced garlic and onions and cook until golden brown. add uncooked bacon and cook thoroughly.

as the bacon is cooking, add salt to boiling pot of water for spaghetti. cook spaghetti "al dente" (refers to the desired texture of cooked pasta in italian cooking. it literally means "to the tooth". when the pasta is cooked al dente, there should be a slight resistance in the center when the pasta is chewed).

scramble eggs in a separate bowl and add salt and pepper.

add cooked spaghetti to the oil, garlic, onion and bacon mixture and toss.

stir in scrambled eggs into the spaghetti mixtures (the eggs will be cooked by the pasta).

add fresh parmesan cheese and serve.
