Ingredients




1 pound of Tortiglioni pasta by Barilla

2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
6 to 8 oz bacon, sliced in small strips ¼ inch wide
½ cup white wine
2 eggs
3 tablespoons of Parmigiano grated fine
Salt and Pepper

Preparation

1 In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the onions with the butter until the onions are translucent. Add the bacon and the wine. Lower the heat and let it cook for a couple of minutes. In a large serving bowl, beat the 2 eggs with salt (not too much) and the pepper. Add the Parmigiano and incorporate well. 2 Meanwhile in a large pan, boil the water with salt. Cook the pasta al dente and drain. Immediately pour over the egg mixture and mix well. Add the bacon-onion-wine sauce and mix well. Serve hot.

About

A good plate of pasta is always such a welcome dinner at our house. My son loves tomato sauce and only wants tomato sauce with his pasta. On the other hand, I have a liking for sauces.  It is obvious who won the debate last night as we did enjoy a great plate of Tortiglioni alla Carbonara.  A nice side salad, vanilla ice cream with a cookie was perfect.
