Giraffe's Baconic Low-Carb Carbonara Sauce

Last week's Soft and Tasty Low-Carb Fettuccine Noodles

 recipe were absolutely incredible! 

We've always enjoyed our pasta sauces and therefore, decided to enjoy a pasta Carbonara for this week.  

Carbonara has always been one of our favorites, when we dine out.  The richness of the sauce, the creaminess, and of course the bacon pieces all make our mouths water.  Mmmmmmm.

Our sauce was creamy, tasty, and full of good hearted flavor.  

We felt as if we were dining in a local Italian restaurant. 

Preparation time was only 5-10 minutes, while our cooking time is only another 12 minutes.

Our ingredients include:

• 4 Eggs
• 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
• 2 tsp. Minced Garlic
• 1 Package of Bacon
• 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1/4th tsp. Ground Pepper
• A pinch of Italian Seasoning or Parsley 

We'll begin by placing our bacon on medium heat, covering, and frying for about 5 minutes or until semi crisp.

After our bacon has finished frying, we'll place our bacon on a paper towel lined plate, to soak up the grease, and will place aside.

Next, we'll pour about 4 Tbsp. of our bacon grease into a little bowl and will place aside.

We'll then, discard the remaining grease and will return our 4 Tbsp. of bacon oil to our pan.

Next, we'll place our garlic in our grease and will cook on medium heat for about 1 minute.

We'll constantly stir our garlic to avoid any burning.

Next, we'll add our cream, Parmesan Cheese, and pepper, and will stir, until fully mixed.

We'll then, cook for about 1 minute, or until our mixture has slightly thickened. 

We'll also continue stirring, to avoid our cream from burning and sticking to the bottom of our pan.

Next, we'll lower our heat to a simmer.

While our cream mixture is simmering, we'll will place our eggs into our bowl, will whisk until fully beaten, and will place aside.

Next, we'll chop our bacon into bite size pieces and will also place aside.

We'll now, whisk our eggs into our cream mixture and will stir for about 3 minutes or until our sauce has slightly thickened.

Next, we'll remove our sauce from our heat, will add our bacon, and will stir.

Voila!!  

Our Carbonara Sauce is ready to be devoured. 

We'll then, pour our creamy and cheesy sauce over our low-carb noodles.

And to give our pasta a touch of color, we'll sprinkle just a bit of Italian Seasoning over the top.

Our mouths have been watering for the past couple of minutes, as the aroma has been permeating our apartment!

We can't believe how authentic our Carbonara Pasta tastes and never realized how easy such a gourmet dish would be to create.

We hope you'll enjoy our Carbonara Sauce as much as we do.

From our kitchen to yours ...

~Enjoy!
