Authentic Pasta Carbonara

INGREDIENTS

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 pound bacon use more or less to your taste
• 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 4-6 cloves of garlic pressed or minced
• 1/2 of a white or yellow onion diced
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• parsley for garnish optional
• black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Boil your spaghetti noodles until al-dente.
2. Cook your bacon in a frying pan or in the microwave. If using a frying pan, once the bacon is done, remove it from the pan, and discard all but 1 Tbsp. of the grease. Cut or crumble the bacon so it is bite-sized.
3. Cook the diced onions over medium heat in the bacon grease until they are softened. A minute or so before the onions are done, add your garlic. If you cooked your bacon in the microwave, then cook the onions and garlic in about 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
4. When the onions are done, add 1/2 cup chicken stock and put the bacon back in with the onions. Stir and set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and Parmesan cheese.
6. Drain the spaghetti and transfer to a large bowl. Immediately pour the egg and cheese mixture on top and stir.
7. Pour the bacon/onion mixture over the top of the spaghetti and stir again.
8. Chop the parsley and sprinkle on top for garnish if desired. Add black pepper to taste. Serve hot
