20 Minute *light* Carbonara!

This is one of our all time comfort foods, and a go-to on a cold day. Its suuper simple, even though it looks like a restaurant dish! Ready in 20 minutes, and all the ingredients are in your kitchen!

YOU WILL NEED:
Spaghetti
Bacon/Pancetta
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup pecorino/Parmesan Reggiano
S&P
1TSP Parsely 


1. *Timing is important here* Heat skillet to medium/high and bring pot of water to a boil.
2. Put bacon/Pancetta in skillet, and drop pasta.
3. MEANWHILE - mix cheese, milk, pepper, salt, parsely, and egg WHITES in a bowl *set yolks aside in separate bowl*
 4. When bacon/pancetta is done, chop and SAVE fat. When pasta is done - drain and return to (low heat) pot.
5. Moving quickly - add fat, pancetta, and sauce mixture into pasta. Stir to combine
6. Egg yolks will thicken sauce as you stir into pasta.
7. Portion into bowls, topping each with egg yolk, parmesan, and parsely.


**SERVE IMMEDIATELY - heat will cook yolk as you stir it into the pasta!**
