Classic Carbonara
Ingredients:
- 6oz GoodWheat Spaghetti Pasta
- 3 Egg yolks, room temperature, beaten
- ½ c. Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
- 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp. Black pepper, ground
- ½ tsp. Kosher salt

- 3oz Turkey bacon, chopped
How to Make:
Step 1.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together egg yolks, Pecorino Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, kosher salt and red chili flakes.
Step 2.
In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, add turkey bacon and sauté until brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 3.
While turkey bacon is cooking, cook spaghetti according to packaging instructions until al dente.
Step 4.
Reserve 1 cup (8oz) of pasta water and set aside.
Step 5.
Drain pasta and immediately transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add the egg cheese mixture and ¼ cup of reserved pasta water stirring vigorously. Continue adding ¼ cup of reserved pasta water until sauce is creamy and coats pasta. If you do not stir the pasta fast enough when adding the water, eggs could scramble.
