Turkey Bacon Carbonara
Ingredients
- 12 oz Bucatini Pasta
- 4 Large Eggs
- 3 slices of Turkey Bacon thick cut
- 1 cup Pecorino Cheese grated
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Black Pepper
Instructions
- Cook Bucatini pasta according to package instructions in a large pot.
- Slice bacon into narrow strips, horizontally.
- Using a large frying pan, set to medium heat and place in sliced bacon when heat turns on and add in a small amount of olive oil.
- The bacon will begin to simmer and crisp up.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs thoroughly.
- Pour in Pecorino cheese and lots of black pepper, to desire. Mix eggs, cheese, and black pepper until well combined. This is your cream mixture.
- Once Bucatini is cooked al dente, add pasta to frying pan with turkey bacon and scoop in a ladle of pasta water.
- Turn heat off of frying pan to stop the pasta and bacon from cooking further.
- Add cream mixture to your frying pan and toss pasta into the sauce, using tongs.
- To thin sauce out, add one ladle of pasta water at a time between tossing.
