This spaghetti carbonara is a super rich "bacon and egg" pasta dish that's great to serve for company. This recipe also makes an unusual brunch offering.

Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil , divided, or as needed
8 slices bacon , diced
1 onion , chopped
1 clove garlic , minced
0.25 cups dry white wine
4 large eggs , beaten
0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, toss spaghetti with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and set aside.
2

Place diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
3

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to bacon fat in the skillet. Add chopped onion and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook 1 minute more.
4

Return cooked bacon to the skillet; add cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat and heat through, adding more olive oil if it seems dry or sticks together. Add beaten eggs and cook, tossing constantly with tongs or a large fork, until eggs are barely set. Quickly add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and toss again. Season with salt and pepper (remember that bacon and Parmesan are very salty).
5

Serve warm with chopped parsley sprinkled on top and extra Parmesan cheese at the table.
