Indulge in this creamy, flavorful pasta dish that takes comfort food to another level. The Deluxe Macaroni Carbonara is perfect for anyone looking to recreate a restaurant-style meal at home, featuring crispy bacon and a rich, cheesy sauce.
Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Prepare a large skillet on low-medium heat. Cook bacon in the skillet until browned and crispy.
2
Remove crispy bacon from the skillet to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet.
3
On low-medium heat, cook minced garlic in the remaining bacon fat for about 5 minutes or until beginning to brown, stirring frequently.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, grated parmesan cheese, grated pecorino cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5
Cook macaroni according to package directions in the boiling water. When pasta is done, drain and return to the saucepan.
6
Add unsalted butter to the cooked macaroni and stir to melt. Let the pasta cool slightly for 3 minutes.
7
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring constantly until it creates a creamy sauce. If needed, turn the heat to low to heat the pasta but not to scramble the eggs.
8
Add the cooked garlic to the pasta and mix thoroughly.
9
Crumble the cooked bacon into the pasta and stir to combine. Serve hot.
