Quick Carbonara step by step

1. Add some oil to a large frying pan (big enough to mix the spaghetti in later) and start to cook the bacon.
2. At the same time cook the spaghetti as per the instructions. I used dried spaghetti so added to a pan of boiling water and cooked for 10/12 minutes.
3. Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and add half the grated parmesan.
4. Once the bacon is cooked, put to one side off the heat. This is important as the cooling pan helps stop the eggs scrambling later..
5. Once the spaghetti is ready, drain BUT keep a couple of tablespoons of the water..
6. Put the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon..
7. Stir the spared pasta water with the egg mixture. This warms the eggs which helps prevent scrambling..
8. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and stir..
9. Serve immediately, season and add remainder of Parmesan as you wish..
10. An Italian friend recommends grating nutmeg over the top..
11. Enjoy !!.
