Smoky Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 zucchini, cut into a very fine julienne (optional; use a julienne peeler)
- 2 cups cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup Romano cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 6 slices bacon, diced
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Season with salt, including 1 tablespoon smoked salt (optional). Cook the spaghetti until just under al dente. Add the zucchini 1 to 2 minutes before the pasta is done, and drain with the pasta (optional).
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large high-sided pan on medium heat. Add the bacon, and cook until crisp. Add the wine, if you want to.
- Drain the pasta.
- Take the pan off the hot burner, and shut off the heat. Whisk together the eggs and cream and cheeses in a separate bowl, and pour them into the pan. Put over a very low flame, and add the pasta. Season with smoked salt and cracked black pepper. Heat very low until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta.
- Top with more Parmesan, smoked salt, and the chopped parsley.
