pasta carbonara {a recipe}

I'm finally sharing the recipe that my sweet hubs made for our Valentine dinner! All of the credit goes to my  mother in law, though. When we got married, she gave us a recipe book full of family recipes and everything in it is amazing! Ever since the dumb waffle incident, this pasta only gets cooked when Eric cooks it :) But he is sooo good at making it. This is the BEST pasta carbonara I've ever had (way better than any restaurant version).

Pasta Carbonara
4 eggs
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 pound (we use full pound) bacon
1 pound fettuccine or spaghetti
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon parsley
pepper

Let eggs, butter, and cream and stand at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. Cook bacon (we lay it on a pan and cook it in oven at 375 for 20 minutes or 400 for 10). Drain grease from bacon.
Beat together eggs and cream just til combined.
Cook pasta. Turn hot pasta into serving dish (we use 9x13).
Toss pasta with butter. Pour egg mixture over and toss til pasta is well coated. Add bacon, cheese and parsley, toss to mix.
Season to taste with pepper.
Put in oven at 350 for about 10 minutes to cook eggs completely.
Enjoy :)
