SPAGHETTI CARBONARA
Time : 12 minutes, Serves 4
Ingredients
- 200g thin spaghetti
- 4 eggs

- ½ cup grated cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions

- Heat a medium sized frypan to medium heat. Thinly slice the bacon, add to the frypan to gently fry for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile cook pasta to packet directions in the boiling water.
- In a small bowl, lightly whisk the 4 eggs, combine with pepper and grated cheese.
- Once pasta is cooked, drain into a large bowl with a cup of the cooking water. Combine with the bacon, eggs and cheese. Mix well with tongs. The egg and cheese combined with the warm pasta create a silky creamy sauce.
TIP : Eggs may scramble in the sauce if the pasta is returned to the hot saucepan in step 5 instead of a cool bowl.
