Pasta is what is for dinner!

We love a really good Carbonara and this one does not disappoint. Big John liked this so much I have made it a few times. Use ripe avocados for this recipe...it taste much better and gives the sauce a much creamier texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 5 pieces Circle B Ranch Hickory Smoked bacon
  • ½ pound spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

Directions

  1. Blend avocado, egg yolk, garlic, and lemon juice in a powerful blender or food processor. Pulse to blend and add heavy cream gradually. Blend the sauce until smooth and set aside.

  2. Cut up strips of bacon and cook in a large pan. Set aside.

  3. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and coat with olive oil. Add sauce, bacon, parmesan, and salt and pepper, stirring until well-combined. Enjoy!
