Protected: How To Make the Best Pasta Carbonara

Name: Perfect Pasta Carbonara
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Ingredients: 1 pound bacon, slided in 1/2-inch strips ((If you have access to guanciale, use half guanciale, half bacon!)); 1 pound dried pasta ((spaghetti is traditional but Ann likes a bigger, shorter thicker pasta like rigatoni)); drizzle of olive oil ((I don't do this but when Ann is using only bacon she drizzles it with olive oil to get it going.)); 5 eggs, beaten ((have an extra egg on hand)); 1 cup freshly grated parmagiano reggiano ((store bought generic is ok if you can't get the regigano use a good pecorino)); lots of freshly ground pepper
