Linguini Carbonara

If you want to create a very authentic Italian dish that is also very simple, then make this your "go-to" dish. Typically you would use spaghetti but since I had none, I improvised with Linguini which was equally amazing. Lastly, I recommend using bacon or Parma Ham instead of sausage but use whatever you have and it will be delicious.

Ingredients:

- 3/4 pound of Linguini
- 3 egg yokes
- 1 whole egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1/4 cup Romano cheese (grated)
- Parma Ham, or bacon, or sausage all diced
- salt
- black pepper


To Make:

Begin by boiling a large pot of water. Once the water has come to a boil, add salt. Cook the pasta according the the directions DO NOT OVER COOK. Approximately 9 minutes is perfect.

While the pasta water is heating up, sauce the meat until crisp.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yokes and add in 1 whole egg. Whisk together. Add the cheese in small doses and mix thoroughly. Season lightly with salt and liberally with black pepper. Your mixture should be a thick consistency.Mix in the meat.

Once your pasta is ready, DO NOT DRAIN. Take it immediately out of the boiling water and place directly into the bowl with sauce. Gently toss the pasta with the sauce until creamy. Serve immediately.
