Fettuccine Carbonara
Carbonara is a creamy and delicious traditional pasta dish including eggs and Parmesan that will have your family begging for more!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 green onions sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 lb bacon diced
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 lb dried fettuccine or 1 ½ lbs fresh
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or saucepan on medium and toss in the green onions and sauté until soft.
- Toss in the onion slices, garlic, and bacon and cook until the bacon is lightly browned. Remove from heat.
- Place egg yolks in a very large bowl for tossing pasta. Stir in Parmesan, cream, and sour cream until smooth.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add pasta. If pasta is fresh, cook 3-4 minutes until al dente or if it is dried pasta, cook 8-10 minutes.
- Add bacon mixture and cooked pasta to the sauce bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve immediately and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Make sure the sauce ingredients are close to room temp so you don't cook the eggs or curdle the dairy.
- Leftovers might need a splash of milk to loosen up when heating. Stovetop is best for reheating.
