Spaghetti Carbonara

Today I have another incredibly simple spaghetti meal for you guys. The nicest thing about this recipe is that it only calls for 5 ingredients to make it! No, the bacon is the best component. I agree, the bacon.

No, but seriously, this is one of those dinners that only need 5 ingredients—spaghetti, bacon, garlic, Parmesan, and eggs—and can be prepared in 15 minutes or less. And if you’re worried about the raw eggs, the residual heat actually cooks them entirely. Just make sure to move swiftly to avoid producing scrambled eggs. Additionally, this dish simply cannot go wrong with the crisp bacon bits!
