Friday Night, Long Week: Pasta Carbonara

Long week and little motivation so it was a bacon and eggs pasta with some spinach because a little green is better than none.

Our recipe was:

• 1 lb dried spaghetti
• 5 slices bacon, sliced into batons
• couple handfuls of spinach
• 5 eggs
• 2 handfuls of pecirino
• tons of ground pepper

Start making the spaghetti with salted water and cook until just before you like it in terms of texture making sure to reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Meanwhile, cook the bacon and when nearly done add the spinach which should be about the time the pasta is done. Also whisk together the eggs, cheese, and pepper. Once the pasta is done, turn off the heat on the bacon and spinach, add pasta and egg mixture and stir with tongs until eggs are cooked. If you want to thin it out a bit add some of the pasta water.

Done.
