This is my fiance's recipe from the days when the only kind of meat he could afford was bacon! It really only bears a passing resemblance to traditional carbonara recipes, but it's awfully good just the same. Use any kind of pasta like rotelli, tagliatelle, etc., that will catch the sauce. Ingredients:
8 ounces pasta |
4 slices bacon |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup half-and-half |
1/4 onion, chopped |
Directions:
1. Boil water for the pasta and cook per package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cut bacon into 1/2 inch or 1 inch squares and saute 5 minutes on medium heat.
3. Add the onion and saute until bacon is crispy and onion is soft.
4. Add pasta, stir.
5. Add parmesan and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes.
6. Add half and half and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve on warmed plates.
