Easy, Peasy Carbonara

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 3 cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 lb. spaghetti
  • 12 oz. frozen peas

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes; transfer to a plate. In a medium bowl, whisk 3 cups cheese and the eggs. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente, adding peas during the last minute of cooking. Save 1 cup water, then drain and return paste and peas to pot. Immediately whisk 1/2 cup pasta water into egg mixture; add to the pasta along with bacon. Toss until sauce coats pasta, adding more cooking water if dry. Season.
