Combining crispy bacon and savory eggs with spaghetti noodles to make the an easy pasta dish at home when both time and ingredients are limited.

Tasty Pasta Carbonara

I have always considered pasta carbonara the perfect meal to make when there’s “no other food in the house”. And of course, I don’t mean for this to sound like it’s a last resort meal! Most often than not, ingredients that are left remaining in the fridge towards the end of a grocery week happen to be eggs and bacon. So instead of preparing a classic bacon and eggs meal for dinner (which is not weird!), this easy to make pasta carbonara is a wonderful alternative.

Both satisfying and delicious, this dish not only hits the spot, it cooks up really quick on the stove top in under 30 minutes. In fact, it is a dish I learned to make when I was a student many years ago. Since then I’ve modified it to suit my families taste preferences, using minced fresh organically grown garlic instead of garlic powder and other such tweaks.

Few Cooking Tips
  • Save the oil from the bacon pan.
    • Add more and less than the recommended 3-4tbsp of bacon oil to your pasta if desired after tasting.
  • Work quickly when combining ingredients.
    • To ensure the raw eggs cook fully, the spaghetti noodles must still be hot when pouring the bacon oil and mixed eggs over top.
