Pasta Carbonara

This recipe usually uses prosciutto, diced but I really love bacon. I have made it both ways. I usually buy bacon and separate into strips of 3-4, wrap and freeze. It can be quickly defrosted in the microwave so you can make this dish anytime.

3-4 slices of bacon diced
1 stick butter
1 cup milk
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 package of pasta (I love to use penne)
2 eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan or Asiago cheese, grated

Cook the butter, and bacon until clear. Add the milk and vinegar. Simmer until thickens. Meanwhile boil your pasta. Drain and return pasta to your pot. Quickly add the eggs and stir. Then add your bacon sauce and cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. YUM. You can add cooked peas or mushrooms. You can use cream instead of milk. You can add more eggs if you like it richer. I like this recipe as is.
