BLESS THIS MESS
There's something about a plate of pasta that never fails to bring comfort and satisfaction to our taste buds. Spaghetti Carbonara is creamy, filled with smoky bacon, and a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
In a large pan over medium heat, cook the bacon all the way through. Let the pan cool down while you cook the pasta.
If there is a lot of bacon grease left in the pan, pour out most of it until there is just a thin layer of bacon grease in the bottom of the pan. The bacon grease and cooked bacon can rest in the pan.
In a large pot, cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Once the pasta is finished cooking, reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining the noodles.
While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
Heat the bacon pan over low heat and half of the reserved pasta water and then the whisked egg mixture to the pan. Whisk the mixture continuously over low heat until homogenous.
Increase the heat to medium while you fold in the noodles until they are evenly coated. Salt and pepper your pasta to taste, serve, and enjoy!
