Pasta Carbonara

This is one of the ultimate comfort foods after a long day of doing our best at this wonderful job of living!!
(serves 4)

3 large eggs
1 cup freshly* grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly* ground pepper
8 oz. pancetta or uncured* bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2" pieces
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
Splash of white wine
1 lb. spaghetti
Green onions* chopped, for garnish

In a large serving bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheese, and pepper. Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over med. heat until just crispy, 8-10 min. Add the garlic cloves with the pancetta and cook until lightly golden; remove them before serving. Skim off excess fat. Add the wine, and let the mixture bubble away for a minute. Meanwhile, boil a large pot of generously salted water; boil the pasta for 2 min. shy of the package instructions, and taste for doneness - the pasta should be al dente. Drain, then add the hot noodles and bacon directly to the bowl of eggs. Toss everything together quickly until the noodles are evenly coated (it's important to work fast so the eggs cook gently and become a rich sauce without curdling). Make sure the pancetta is evenly distributed. Serve immediately with extra cheese and green onions.

Have FUN today, and batten down the hatches tonight - Thar she blows!!!

Love,
