Skip the restaurant crowds this Valentine’s Day and make this rich, creamy, and ultra-cozy Pasta Carbonara at home! 💕

Nothing says romantic dinner in like a dish that feels fancy but is secretly so easy. This Pasta Carbonara comes together in minutes using just a handful of ingredients—so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the night!

PASTA CARBONARA RECIPE

Ingredients:
8 oz uncooked bacon (about 8 slices), chopped
1 lb spaghetti
3 egg yolks
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
For garnish: extra Parmesan & black pepper

Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Cook pasta until al dente, reserving 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining.
4. Toss hot pasta in a large bowl with egg yolks and cheese.
5. Add bacon and bacon grease to the pasta and mix well.
6. Gradually stir in pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce becomes silky and creamy (I usually add about 1/3 cup total).
7. Garnish with extra Parmesan and black pepper.

That’s it—simple, delicious, and so much better than waiting for a table! ❤️ Want more easy and elevated meals like this? Find them in my Costco One Stop Meals cookbook!
