Linguine Carbonara

I have been slacking on my weekly meals and so this week I finally determined 

to get to the store and make my family a meal. 

Being Italian, I, of course, decided on an Italian dish; one we had never had before...

Ingredients:

2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

3 eggs

1 1/4 c. heavy whipping cream

16 oz. of linguine

10 bacon slices chopped

1 lrg. onion chopped

1 T. minced garlic

1 t. crushed red pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Whisk 1 1/2 c. Parmesan, eggs, and cream in a bowl and set aside.

Cook linguine and drain, setting aside 1/2 c. of cooking liquid.

Meanwhile saute bacon in a large skillet until crisp.

Add onions, garlic, and crushed red pepper.

Saute until onion is translucent about 8 minutes.

Add onion mixture and cream mixture to pasta.

Toss over medium heat, until mixture thickens and coats pasta.

Add reserved cooking liquid by t. if sauce is too thick about 4 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley and grated Parmesan.

Bon Appetit!
