An Americanized version of an Italian classic, our Pasta Carbonara has a light sauce filled with beautiful flavors, i.e., bacon! This recipe is close to the traditional recipe but takes tasty liberties.
In a medium bowl, mix egg yolks, parmesan, and black pepper with a whisk. Set the mixture aside once combined.
Allow bacon grease to cool slightly in the pan.
When the pasta is finished cooking, remove from heat and reserve a half cup of the hot pasta water to use for the sauce. .
