Spaghetti Carbonara

This is one of the easiest pasta dishes and it uses ingredients that you probably always have in your refrigerator.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 lb spaghetti
2 eggs
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 white onion or 3 scallions
4 slices bacon
salt
pepper

Directions:
After boiling a pot of water, salt the water and put in the spaghetti and cook for 7-8 minutes.

Slice the bacon and add to a small sauce pan with the chopped onion or scallions.  Allow the bacon to become brown and the onions to become translucent. 

In a small bowl beat the eggs and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese. 

Once the pasta is done drain the pasta.  Put the 2 tablespoons of butter into the original pasta pot.  Then add the pasta.  The pot should be off the heat by now.  Add the bacon and onions and stir the pasta.  Then slowly add the eggs in 3 increments.  After every increment of egg add more of the remaining 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.  Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the egg has become a sauce.  Serve immediately.  Enjoy!
