Spaghetti Carbonara

 

Ingredients:

2	Sticks	Butter
4	Tbl	Olive Oil
1		Large onion, peeled and chopped
1	Lb	Bacon Or Pancetti, Diced
½	Lb	Bulk Mild Or Hot Italian Sausage
	Oz	Dry White Wine
2	Lb	Spaghetti
5		Large Eggs
6	Tbl	Parmesan Cheese
		Salt And Pepper To Taste
		Parsley, Chopped

Directions:

Met the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, making sure the butter does not burn. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, 5-10 minutes. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until it begins to melt, about 15 minutes. Add the sausage and continue to cook until the meat is done, about 20 minutes. Add the white wine, raise the heat, and cook until the wine is evaporated.

While you prepare the sauce, cook the spaghetti al dente in a large sauce pan. Drain the pasta and reserve 2 cups of the cooking water. Place the reserved cooking water in the skillet with the sauce over a low heat until thoroughly heated, 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl with the parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Lace the drained spaghetti on a warm platter or in a large bowl and pour the sauce from the skillet over the top. Mix well, then stir in the egg cheese mixture, sprinkle with parsley and parmesan cheese before serving.
