or you can make what we call American carbonara. Italians, close your earholes.
this is for a two person serving
boil up some pasta. we use spaghetti.
fry up some chopped up bacon, about 4 slices, to your desired amount of crispness. take the bacon off the pan and pour the grease off.
beat one whole egg.
let the pan and grease cool a bit. add about half the grease back in with all the bacon. pull the pasta out of the water and straight into the pan. add the beaten egg in and stir the crap out of it to emulsify the egg and grease. you wanted to cool the pan and grease earlier so you don't scramble the eggs immediately. usually the wet pasta hitting the pan is enough to suck some heat out.
when its all come together, season with salt, pepper and your favorite grated cheese (use parm from a can if you must. we grate some off a parmesan block)
