Pasta Carbonara

Description makes enough carbonara sauce for 2 small portions or 1 large portion of Pasta

Ingredients

 * 2 egg yolks
 * ½ cup of heavy cream (optional)
 * ¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese
 * as much Bacon or pancetta as you wish to have
 * chopped parsley (optional)
 * additional grated parmesan
 * salt and black pepper

Directions

 * 1) Dice your Bacon and cook according to desired crispness.
 * 2) Drain on paper towel. Reserve the bacon grease.
 * 3) Mix 2 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
 * 4) Add salt and pepper to taste.
 * 5) Cook your noodles and strain, reserving some of the starchy water.
 * 6) Put the noodles back in your saucepan and add a teaspoon or two of the bacon grease to coat the noodles (this prevents the cream sauce from soaking right into the noodles).
 * 7) Add your egg mixture to the noodles and combine well. I
 * 8) If the sauce is too thick add a bit of your reserved starchy water. This is all dependent on how you like it.
 * 9) Mix in your Bacon bits right into the sauce and noodles or pile them on top as I did.
 * 10) Serve it up in a bowl or two and sprinkle with additional parmesan, chopped parsley and freshly ground pepper to taste.
