Pasta Carbonara

Description
makes enough carbonara sauce for 2 small portions or 1 large portion of Pasta
== Ingredients ==
* 2 egg yolks
* ½ cup of heavy cream (optional)
* ¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese
* as much Bacon or pancetta as you wish to have
* chopped parsley (optional)
* additional grated parmesan
* salt and black pepper
== Directions ==
# Dice your Bacon and cook according to desired crispness.
# Drain on paper towel. Reserve the bacon grease.
# Mix 2 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
# Add salt and pepper to taste.
# Cook your noodles and strain, reserving some of the starchy water.
# Put the noodles back in your saucepan and add a teaspoon or two of the bacon grease to coat the noodles (this prevents the cream sauce from soaking right into the noodles).
# Add your egg mixture to the noodles and combine well. I
# If the sauce is too thick add a bit of your reserved starchy water. This is all dependent on how you like it.
# Mix in your Bacon bits right into the sauce and noodles or pile them on top as I did.
# Serve it up in a bowl or two and sprinkle with additional parmesan, chopped parsley and freshly ground pepper to taste.
