Maggiano Johnny Carbonara [0000521]

Ingredients:

8 oz gluten-free spaghetti or fettuccine
4 slices gluten-free bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Cook the gluten-free spaghetti or fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan cheese, large eggs, and heavy cream until well combined.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the cooked gluten-free pasta. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.

Add the cooked bacon and thawed peas to the pasta mixture. Toss everything together to heat through.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of hot water from the pasta pot to reach your desired consistency.

Serve your gluten-free Maggiano's Johnny's Carbonara hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
