Pasta Carbonara
Gemma Comas
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Step 2
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Transfer to a paper towel and reserve the drippings.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Still whisking constantly, add 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Working quickly, add the drained pasta and Parmesan to the yolk mixture and toss to combine. Add the salt, pepper, parsley, and bacon. Serve immediately. (The heat of the pasta cooks the eggs, but not thoroughly. It may be advisable for young children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system to avoid eating this dish.)

I made this last night for some friends and they loved it! I would suggest using a little more than 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings so the pasta isn't so dry and a bit more salt for taste. The only suggestion my friends had: "MORE BACON!!"
