Creamy pasta enveloped in cheese and bacon, this carbonara recipe is quick and delicious! I was craving a pasta dish and saw this recipe online from The New York Times. It was love at first sight, especially because I had all of the ingredients that I needed to make this dish!
I used my 8-Qt. Brilliance Nonstick Stock Pot and my 5-Qt. Non-Stick Sauté Pan to make this recipe:
8-Qt. Brilliance Nonstick Stock Pot
Batch Cooking With Hassle-Free Cleanup
When big batches of pasta, soup, stew, or chili are on the menu, reach for this 8-qt. (7.6-L) nonstick stock pot. It’s never been easier to batch cook or prep for family get-togethers and special events. With high-quality nonstick coatings inside and out, this pot releases food effortlessly—and because it’s dishwasher-safe, cleanup is easy.
One-Pot Meal Maker
Weeknights have met their match! This 5-qt. (4.7-L) sauté pan has high walls, so it’s perfect for one-pot meals and skillet dinners for the whole family. It’s large enough to cook up to four chicken breasts at a time! The stainless-steel handle and glass lid let you easily transfer this pan from the stove-top to the oven, and the helper handle gives you the support you need to avoid spills. It’s coated on the inside and outside with high-quality nonstick coatings, which helps food slide right out and makes cleanup a breeze.

Grate pecorino Romano and Parmesan cheeses.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, yolks, pecorino Romano, Parmesan, pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until golden brown, but not overly crisp. Remove from heat, set aside.
(Reheat bacon if necessary, prior to adding cooked pasta.)
Add spaghetti to boiling water and cook one minute less than al dente.
Reserve 1 cup pasta water, drain pasta then add to skillet over low heat, stirring one minute to combine with bacon. Remove from heat, stir in cheese mixture, add in a bit of reserved pasta water for extra creaminess. Serve immediately with freshly grated pecorino Romano and pepper.
