Mama’s Baked Carbonara

Print Options
Description
Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish containing eggs, and though not normally baked but rather served just like a normal pasta dish, my family and I love to throw even more cheese into this dish and bake it, ’cause we aren’t afraid of heart failure.
Ingredients
- 1 package (16 Oz. Package) Bacon
- 4 cloves Garlic
- Handful Of Fresh Cilantro
- 2 cups Ricotta Cheese
- 4 whole Eggs
- ½ cups Heavy Cream
- 18 ounces, weight Noodles
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
Preparation
Turn oven on to about 425F. Put a pot on to boil water for your noodles.
Grab an oven safe skillet. Cut bacon up into bite size pieces. Mince garlic. Cut up fresh cilantro and add to your ricotta cheese. In a small bowl or measuring cup, beat your eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Add noodles to water.
Add butter and bacon pieces into your skillet over medium-high heat and cook until brown and crispy. When bacon is done, so should be your noodles. Drain noodles and add them to your bacon dish.
Stir the noodles and bacon together, getting the butter and bacon drippings coated on the noodles evenly. Add in salt and pepper and red pepper flakes. Then add in your Parmesan cheese and stir until fully combined.
Pour your eggs and cream mixture into the skillet over the pasta, making sure to pour it over the skillet to evenly disperse the mixture on all the noodles. Let the eggs start to set up a little; this takes about 2- 3 minutes.
Turn off stove top and place skillet into the 425-degree oven and cook for about 6- 8 minutes. Take dish out and spoon over the cilantro and ricotta cheese mixture, smoothing it out over the top of the pasta dish. Sprinkle the top with your mozzarella cheese and bake for another 8- 10 minutes or until cheese is turning golden brown.
Cut into serving sizes and enjoy. Mmm cheese.

I will definitely have to try this. I make a quickie-carbonara that my family likes but sometimes it is not moist enough to my liking. This recipe might do the trick! Thanks for sharing!
