ITALIAN CARBONARA WITH BACON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest. Chop bacon when cool enough to handle.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and onion to reserved bacon fat in the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour vermouth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute. Mix in chopped bacon.
• Drain spaghetti, transfer to a large serving bowl, and mix in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add bacon-onion mixture, Parmesan cheese, cream, eggs, and pepper to the hot pasta; stir until spaghetti is well coated and sauce is creamy.

Steps:

• Put the olive oil (or butter) in a fairly lrg skillet. Add the pancetta (or bacon) & fry it lightly over med-heat till the fat has melted. Remove from heat & set aside.
• Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl w/a whisk. Whisk in the cream, half of the Parmesan cheese & the Italian herb blend. Add the diced tomato & stir to combine.
• When the spaghetti is still fairly firm to the bite, drain & transfer it to the warm skillet w/the bacon. Place over med-heat & stir so it will absorb the flavor of the pancetta (or bacon).

• Serve immediately w/the remaining Parmesan cheese on the side to be added individually as desired.

• Eggs:.
• Place 2 eggs in a small mixing bowl. Then add 1 tbsp milk, a small amount of salt & pepper, 1 pinch of Italian seasoning, & 1/4 tsp parmesan cheese. Whisk together then add 2 tbsp Italian cheese blend & bacon, stir.
• Heat 1/2 tbsp butter in a small frying pan. Pour the egg mixture into the pan & cook on medium heat.
• As the bottom becomes stiff, slightly lift each corner to allow the uncooked egg to pour to the bottom of the pan. Continue to do this until the eggs are just about done. With a spatula turn the egg over & cook the other side, only needs 1-2 minutes to finish.
