4 tablespoons vermouth or white wine
salt
16 ounces spaghetti or linguine, al dente
1 hard-boiled egg, , chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 serving

2. Cook over medium heat until the shallot is tender.
3. Add the vermouth, stir and cook until it has almost evaporated.
4. Reduce heat to warm.

All you need is a few slices of bacon, some onion and garlic, cooked spaghetti or angel hair, and a few beaten eggs. cut the bacon up into small pieces and put that in a frying pan. Let that cook a bit until some of the grease comes out, add diced onion and garlic. Stir and cook until bacon is done and onions are translucent, being careful not to let the garlic brown. Toss in your cooked pasta and pour in the beaten eggs, toss to coat. Continue tossing the mixture with tongs to cook the egg through, add parmesan cheese at the end, pour out onto a plate. Top with a little parsley and there you have it.

Bacon & Egg Carbonara
Ingredients
(4 servings)
8 oz Sliced bacon (about 10 slices) cut into 1" squares
8 oz Dry thin pasta, such as capellini or vermicelli; or 1 pkg (9 oz)
Angel hair pasta
2 c Sour cream
1/4 c Chopped chives or thinly sliced green onions, including tops
4 Egg yolks
1 c Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a wide fry pan; cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Spoon off and discard all but 3 TBSP of the drippings; keep pan with bacon warm over lowest heat.
In a 5 - 6 quart pan; cook pasta in three quarts boiling water just until tender to bite (@3 minutes for dry capellini. 8-10 minutes for dry vermicelli, and 1 to 2 minutes for fresh angel hair pasta); or cook according to package directions. After adding the pasta to the boiling water, spoon 1/2 c of the sour cream into each of 4 wide, shallow bowls; place bowls in a 200 degree oven while completing cooking.
Drain pasta well; add pasta and chives to bacon in the pan. Mix lightly, using two forks. Spoon an equal portion of pasta mixture into each warm bowl. Make a nest in the center of each; slip in an egg yolk. Mix each portion individually and sprinkle with cheese.
Makes 4 servings.
