Italian pasta carbonara

My dad has always been an inventive chef and throughout my childhood he cooked a lot of odd food, but he had one particular recipe I always loved. He made an amazing pasta carbonara and now I want to share it wth you!

Ingredients: (for 4)
300 g spaghetti
150 g bacon
½ onion
1 clove of garlic
2 eggs
½ dl cream
100 g grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

+ some extra parmesan cheese to sprinkel on top


Step 1: Cook the pasta after the instructions on the package

Step 2: Cut the bacon and onion into small pieces and fry it in separate frying pans.

Step 3: Whip together the eggs, cream and grated cheese with a regular beater, add salt.

Step 4: When the pasta is cooked, pour out the water and blend in the bacon and onion. Add the egg mixture and press the garlic clove into the pasta. Mix with a spoon.

Step 5: serve with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

Quick to prepare: This is very quick and takes only 25 min.

Ease of preparation: It is basic and easy to cook, be careful though while frying the bacon since the fat from the meat splashes when you fry it and it's very hot.

Gourmet vs. everyday: This is a quite basic recipe and most kids like it, it has a nice creamy taste and the bacon gives a little salty taste. The recipe is quite "everyday" though and isn't reallt suitable for a dinner party etc.
