Bacon Carbonara Pasta Recipe

Cook the pasta in a large pot to one minute less than the directions on the box and keep ½ cup of pasta water to the side to drain pasta. Do not rinse pasta.

In a large skillet add the bacon and cook it until crisp then turn off the heat and remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. Add the pasta and toss it in the bacon fat.

Add the eggs, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to a large bowl and whisk well before adding slowly while tossing the hot pasta quickly to prevent it from scrambling.

Add in ¼ cup of the pasta water and peas, tossing again to create a saucy consistency to the pasta then topping with bacon before serving.
