Description

Everything in a carbonara minus the cream. Top your pasta with a fried egg and you will thank me.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Cooked Pasta
  • 4 strips Bacon, Thick Cut (reserve 2 Tbs Of Drippings)
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, Minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 whole Large Eggs, (Add Extra Eggs If Your Really Hungry)
  • 12 whole Fresh Cherry Or Grape Tomatoes, Sliced
  • ¼ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 6 leaves Fresh Basil, Torn

Preparation

Boil pasta and drain.

Slice bacon fry in pan. Reserve 2 tbs of bacon drippings, drain bacon pieces on plate lined with paper towel, set aside.

Add 3 tbs of olive oil, reserved bacon drippings, herbs and garlic to hot skillet. Saute for about a minute and add eggs. Fry eggs keeping yolk soft and creamy. Remove eggs from pan and set aside.

Quickly combine pasta, pan drippings, tomatoes, bacon and Parmesan cheese. Toss pasta, drizzle more olive oil if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Top pasta with fried egg, garnish with torn fresh basil and serve hot.

Enjoy!

Delish! I really liked the flavor of this dish. I did leave the egg out though. It was so quick and easy to throw together.

I love real pasta carbonara, so I’m not sure I could get with this. But I do love me some cheese enchiladas with a couple of eggs on top! Talk about a heart attack on a plate! Maybe poached eggs on this dish, since they can be held while you cook the pasta.

Now see, I love anything with a fried egg on it, a steak, toast, asparagus, spinach, you name it, egg it up and I am in!

The fried eggs on top spoiled this dish for me.
Not a carbonara by a long shot, but an excellent combination for the sauce!!!
