Made with simple ingredients like fettucine pasta, crispy bacon, Parmesan cheese, and eggs, this dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The rich and silky carbonara sauce coats each strand of pasta, creating a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces fettucine pasta
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Cook the fettucine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
5. Pour the cooked fettucine pasta into the skillet with the garlic. Toss well to coat the pasta with the bacon drippings.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture. The residual heat will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce. Make sure to stir continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.
7. Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the pasta and toss to combine.
8. Serve the fettucine carbonara in individual bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
9. Enjoy this classic Italian dish immediately while it's still warm and creamy.
