Spinach Carbonara

Last night was the second time that I made Spinach Carbonara, and once again, I really enjoyed it! It is very easy to make, and it's also pretty quick. If you ask me, that's always a good combination.

Salt
1/2 lb of bacon cut into chunks
1 lb spinach fettuccine
1 whole egg, plus 2 egg yolks (room temperature)
1 c Parmesan cheese
2 tsp black pepper
Fresh spinach (to add at the end)
1/2 c reserved pasta cooking water

Bring salted water to a boil for pasta. Cook pasta according to package.

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, and reserve the bacon grease.

Whisk eggs, cheese, and pepper together in a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of reserved pasta cooking water to the egg mixture. Turn skillet back to low to heat the pan a little. When pasta is cooked, drain it add it to the skillet along with the bacon.

While tossing, add the egg mixture to the pasta until coated. If the pasta seems too dry, add more reserved liquid. Toss in spinach leaves at the end.
(Chris isn't a fan of cooked spinach, so I don't usually add a lot to my pasta, but you can add as much as you would like!) Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the finished product to add right now...

Enjoy!
