Carbonara Pasta Bake

This is a great meal to prep in the morning, chill it in the fridge then pop in the oven when you get home from work.

Ingredients

8 slices of thick cut bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 pound spaghetti - cooked according to package directions

4 eggs

2 egg yolks

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup milk

1/2 cup half-and-half

2 tbsp chopped parsley

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Heat oven to 375 degrees and coat a 2 quart baking dish with non-stick spray

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, drain on paper towels

In a large bowl whisk together eggs, yolks, cheese, milk, half-and-half, parsley, salt and pepper.

Toss pasta with sauce and pour into prepared dish

Bake for 40 minutes and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Be sure to use a good cheese in this dish, the flavor will be better with a nuttier parmesan!  Try adding some chopped chicken for a more filling meal.

Enjoy!
