Don't have a whole lot in the pantry...pasta

Pasta Carbonara
1/2 inch of olive oil (for frying pan)
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 chopped onion
8 thick slices of bacon
3 eggs
1 package of spaghetti
1 cups grated parmesan cheese
In a frying pan, combine 1/2 inch of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, one chopped onion and the bacon cut into small squares. Let simmer for about 20 minutes....careful not to let the oil get to hot and burn the bacon.
In a bowl, beat 3 eggs with lots of salt and fresh ground pepper.

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente, drain and immediately add egg mixture to pasta so the eggs cook. Stir the egg mixture until it is well mixed. Pour in the mixture from the frying pan and stir. Finish with the parmesan cheese and serve...maybe a side of green beans.
