Spaghetti Carbonara I

By: Marian Collins 
"This is a favorite supper dish that's quick and easy to make. I double it for our family of 4 growing boys. We serve it all up and then add on the goodies that are left in the bottom of the bowl - there's always bacon and eggs left down there."

Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1 pound bacon, chopped
  • 4 eggs, well beaten
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving some of the drippings, crumble and set aside.
  3. Scramble eggs in bacon drippings.
  4. Place spaghetti in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil, and mix well; use enough to just moisten spaghetti. Stir in bacon, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
