Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe
Ingredients
| Thin spaghetti | 1 pound | |
| 8 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch strips | ||
| 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil | ||
| 1 medium-size yellow onion, peeled and chopped | ||
| Butter/Margarine | 4 Tablespoon | |
| Chicken broth | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Salt | 1/8 Teaspoon | |
| Black pepper | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
| 2 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten | ||
| Parsley | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs), chopped | |
| Parmesan cheese | 1 Cup (16 tbs), grated | |
Directions
1. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a 12-inch skillet over moderate heat for 5 minutes, or until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to paper toweling to drain. Discard the drippings and wipe the skillet with paper toweling.
3. Heat the oil in the skillet over moderate heat. Add the onion, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the butter, chicken broth, salt, and pepper, and heat through but do not boil—about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
4. Drain the spaghetti thoroughly in a colander, and toss with the sauce in the skillet. Add the eggs, and continue tossing for about 1 minute, or until the sauce thickens. Add the parsley, then the cheese, and toss again. Grumble the reserved bacon over the spaghetti and stir it in.
