I found a similar recipe by Chris Jacobs here on Cookpad. My kids love Carbonara but I’d never tried to make it before. I was really surprised by how easy it was to make and with ingredients I typically always have at home. Tasted great and only took 15 mins. Added a few tips I was given to stop the eggs scrambling.

Steps

1

Add some oil to a large frying pan (big enough to mix the spaghetti in later) and start to cook the bacon
2

At the same time cook the spaghetti as per the instructions. I used dried spaghetti so added to a pan of boiling water and cooked for 10/12 minutes
3

Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and add half the grated parmesan
4

Once the bacon is cooked, put to one side off the heat. This is important as the cooling pan helps stop the eggs scrambling later.
5

Once the spaghetti is ready, drain BUT keep a couple of tablespoons of the water.
6

Put the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon.
7

Stir the spared pasta water with the egg mixture. This warms the eggs which helps prevent scrambling.
8

Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and stir.
9

Serve immediately, season and add remainder of Parmesan as you wish.

An Italian friend recommends grating nutmeg over the top.
