Its a complete meal that feels fancy.

Since my college days as an Italian major, Ive lovedspaghetti carbonara.
The egg sauce cooks in seconds when tossed with the hot pasta!

That said, its not exactly a square meal.
I had a healthier bowl of an old favorite shot through with all the lovely flavors of spring.
Its now mysecond-most anticipated dish of Spring.

Most greens are done in just 3 minutes when cooked in hot bacon fat.
The flavor of pancetta isnt smoky like bacon, so some purists prefer it.
Since this recipe is decidedly inauthentic, I useeasy-to-find bacon.

Whisk the eggs, cream, and 1/2 cup of the cheese in a medium bowl and set aside.
While the water is heating up, prepare the other ingredients.
Put the bacon in a cold, medium saute pan and set over medium heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp, 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not colored, 30 seconds.
Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
Cook according to package instructions, setting a timer for the recommended cooking time.
Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Quickly transfer the pasta and vegetables to a large serving bowl.
Immediately pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing with tongs constantly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
The pasta is best served immediately.
Reheating the pasta will curdle the egg.
