Hey! It’s Melanie here from Garnish & Glaze! I’m thrilled to be part of team and share a recipe with you each month. You can look forward to comforting easy meals, effortless slow cooker meals, and ah-mazing desserts.
This recipe is seriously the simplest. You can have this on the table in less than 20 minutes. To start, you'll boil water for your pasta and then cook up the bacon and garlic. While the pasta cooks, just grate the Parmigiano Reggiano (this is seriously the best but you can use Parmesan or any other hard Italian cheese) and whisk it with the egg and egg yolk in a large bowl.
Before draining your pasta, it's very important to save some of that starchy salted cooking water. I like to just tilt the pot and scoop about 1 cup out with a mug. I actually do this for every pasta dish. The starchy water helps the sauce really cling to the noodles (especially cream based sauces) and reach the perfect consistency.
So, after straining the noodles, you’ll place them in the bowl of whisked eggs and Parmigiano and toss quickly. As you’re tossing you’ll see the egg/sauce start to cook and become thicker and that’s when you’ll add in a little pasta water at a time while mixing until you get the desired consistency of sauce. I added about a half cup. Then throw in the bacon and serve up the most delicious creamy pasta. Of course, the toppings are optional but who doesn't want more cheese?!
If you’re looking for an easy at home dinner date meal, this Spaghetti Carbonara is sure impress.

Helpful Tips to make Spaghetti Carbonara:
- Pasta water should taste like the ocean.
- Use Parmigiano Reggiano for the best taste, if you can't find that you can substitute fresh grated Parmesan cheese. This is not the best place for the canned stuff, you know what I mean.
What you will need to make Spaghetti Carbonara:
- Garlic Press-One of my moist used kitchen tools! I received mine as a gift years ago and I can't imagine why I never had one. It minces garlic with one squeeze, with the peel still on!
- Good tongs - I use these for all of my one-pot pasta meals and they are perfect for this recipe too!
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
