Green Bean Spaghetti Carbonara

One of Travis' favorite pasta dishes is pasta carbonara. This one has its own little twist by using bacon instead of prosciutto. It also included green beans, which added a little sweetness to the dish.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

1 lb. spaghetti

3/4 lb. green beans, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 lb. bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding beans halfway through cooking time; drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Brown bacon in large skillet over medium heat; add onion and soft en; deglaze with reserved cooking water. Whisk eggs with cheese. Off heat, add pasta, beans, eggs and cheese to skillet and toss; season with salt and pepper.
