Now, let me share with you the step-by-step instructions for preparing this delicious Pasta Carbonara:

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic and bacon grease. Stir to coat the spaghetti with the bacon grease.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti. Toss the spaghetti with tongs to coat it evenly with the egg and cheese mixture. The heat from the spaghetti will cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce.
  7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the top of the spaghetti and serve immediately.
