My pasta carbonara is one of my favorite comfort foods and its so easy to make.
I love dishes that are flavorful but simple. I refuse to make anything that could stress me out. I want to take my time and enjoy the experience. That is why I cook. I love to savor the scents, and colors of everything coming together perfectly.
My pasta carbonara is a wonderful blend of creamy sauce and spicy kick. There are few ingredients, but the flavors are a perfect combination.
The sauce is a mixture of eggs and Parmesan cheese. This combined with the spice of red pepper flakes, crisp peas, and smoky bacon makes this dish hard to resist. Served with my Caesar Salad and you have a delicious and complete meal.
Belle’s Pasta Carbonara
1/2 lb. spaghetti noodles
1 cup frozen peas
4 slices bacon
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic Salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 8 minutes. Add the frozen peas and cook another 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large rimmed fry pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to a plate, lined with paper towels to drain, then crumble. In a small bowl, blend together the eggs, cheese, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper. Over medium heat, in the same pan that you cooked the bacon, add the cooked noodles and peas, and bacon. Toss with the bacon grease. Add the egg mixture and working quickly, toss with the noodles, peas, and crumbled bacon, just until coated (don’t cook too long or you’ll have scrambled eggs). Serve immediately.
