Spaghetti alla Carbonara

January 09, 2013

This is yet another dish that comes from my amazing brother-in-law, Nick (the Italian cuisine master). Nick lived in Italy for a couple years and brought back some awesome recipes, including this one! This is a very traditional Italian recipe — very simple and easy but FULL of flavor. This stuff is the REAL DEAL. We devoured it! Thanks for sharing with us Nick!

1 Lb. Spaghetti noodles
1 Lb. bacon (or traditionally pancetta.. but that is usually tougher to find)
5-6 cloves garlic
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. milk (or heavy cream)
pepper (to taste)
5 oz. fresh Parmesan cheese, flaked or shredded (divided)

Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet. When bacon is cooked and slightly crispy, remove from skillet and drain all but about 3-4 Tbsp....
