Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 400 g pasta (spaghetti)

• 200 g whipped cream
• 50 g Parmesan
• 3 stalks of parsley
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Cook the spaghetti as usual. In the meantime, finely dice the bacon. Whisk together the eggs and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese and stir in. Pluck the parsley leaves from the stalks and finely chop them, leaving a few for garnish. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Fry the bacon until crispy. Add the spaghetti and briefly toss in the bacon fat. Pour the beaten eggs and cream over the bacon and mix with the spaghetti. Cook briefly in the pan, as the sauce should remain nice and creamy. Serve the pasta in portions. Garnish with chopped parsley and, if desired, parsley leaves. TIP: If you don’t like or can’t tolerate smoked bacon, you can use diced cooked ham instead.
