I found my new carbonara recipe. When I've tried it in the past, it has ended up much too "raw eggy". However, this recipe turned out just perfect. I hight recommend trying this, it is so good. It is very, very kid friendly and is super quick to make.
Carbonara Pasta
Salt and pepper
1 lb. farfalle pasta (the bowties)
1-2 T. olive oil
1/4 lb. pancetta (or thick cut bacon)
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
5 or 6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 c. dry white wine
2 large egg yolks
1/2 c. grated Romano cheese (I mixed some Parm in, too)
parsley for garnish if you have it.
Put up a pot of water to boil and add salt and farfalle. Boil 8-10 minutes.
In the meantime, heat skillet over med-high heat. Add oil and bacon. Brown 2 minutes. Add pepper flakes and garlic. Cook 3 min. more. Add wine and stir up brown bits from bottom of pan.
Beat yolks and add 1 ladleful of pasta water while stirring.
Drain pasta and add to skillet with pancetta. Pour egg mixture over pasta. Toss rapidly to coat. Remove from head and add cheese, lots of pepper and a bit of salt. Continue to toss pasta until it soaks up egg mixture-- a few mintues. Serve with green salad.

i made this for dinner tonight. DE - LI - CIOUS! no eggy taste at all! mmm. this may just become a staple at Villa Young. :)
Yea!! I'm so glad you made it and liked it. Kyle requested it become a regular at our house, too.
I noticed in my instructions, however, that I instructed everyone to removed the hot pan from your head, not the heat. Note that change-- ouch!

hAHAHAHA! remove the hot pan from your heat! you hot head, cheryl!
oh. so i wasn't supposed to hit Michael over the head with the hot pan before adding cheese? my mistake!

PS - i didn't have any white wine and used apple juice instead. still tasted good!
