5/7/07: Spaghetti Carbonara

Source: Joy of Cooking

8 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Cook in a large pot of boiling salted water:
1 pound spaghetti or linguine
Meanwhile, combine in a small skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp:
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 slices bacon, chopped
Add:
1/3 cup dry white wine
Simmer until the wine has evaporated. Beat together:
3 large egg
Salt and black pepper to taste
2/3 cup mixed grated Parmesan and Romano (3 ounces)
Drain the pasta and return it to the hot pot. Immediately add the cheese mixture and the hot bacon and fat, stirring to coat thoroughly; the heat of pasta will cook the eggs.
