Pasta Carbonara with Peas #Recipe

Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta I like Rotini, but any variety will work
  • 10 pieces of bacon diced and cooked
  • 1/2 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese I used freshly grated, but you can use whatever you have.
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 can of peas I used canned organic sweet peas

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles as directed.
  2. While the noodles cook, fry the bacon until it's crispy. When it's done, put the bacon on a paper towel (to remove some of the grease) and set aside. Drain most of the grease from the skillet.
  3. Sautee the finely chopped onion & minced garlic.
  4. In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs, add 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper. Whisk together.
  5. Drain the peas& the pasta.
  6. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the noodles, be sure to stir continuously so the mixture doesn't curdle.
  7. Add the peas and garlic/onion.
  8. Keep stirring until the noodles are glossy. (I put mine back over low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring the whole time.)
  9. Sprinkle the bacon on each serving after it's been dished.
  10. ENJOY!
