I had a trial yesterday that ran into the evening and by the time the man of the house and I finally got home and got around to attending to dinner we were both famished. Though we had plenty of staples on hand there wasn't much other than a frozen pizza that could be ready in under half an hour. There also wasn't a whole lot of energy left to come up with a creative dinner. When I looked into the fridge I saw Parmesan cheese, bacon and eggs and finally it dawned on me to prepare a simple and hearty Pasta Carbonara. From idea to the first bite barely 20 minutes elapsed.
I used Emeril's recipe and halved it because there were only two of us for dinner, but this could easily be scaled up or down to feed a few or a crowd. The recipe posted below will serve four (or more) hungry adults.
