Indulge in the creamy delight of Pasta Carbonara, a dish where the richness of creamy sauce and the crispiness of bacon elevate pasta to a whole new level of deliciousness.
Boil pasta according to the package’s directions. Set a colander in a large bowl.
06Drain the cooked pasta into the colander, reserving the pasta cooking water in the large bowl. Using a glass measuring cup, measure 1 cup of hot pasta water and discard the remaining water. Place the pasta in the empty and hot large bowl.
07Slowly pour and whisk ½ cup of the pasta water into the egg mixture, then slowly pour the mixture over the pasta while using tongs to toss and coat. Add the bacon and garlic, and toss to combine.
08Let the pasta rest for 2 minutes, then toss. Repeat 2 more times. Thin with the remaining reserved pasta water if needed.
09Serve immediately. Top with additional cheese and ground black pepper, if desired.
