More Pasta!

I'm on a big pasta kick lately, obviously. I love how versatile it is. It takes minutes to toss pasta with some of my favorite ingredients, and that makes it very appealing to me, as well.

I had this for lunch two days in a row and I excused myself for it by using turkey bacon.



Angel Hair Carbonara with Green Beans

1/4 lb bacon
2 cloves garlic
2 T olive oil
1 lb angel hair pasta
1/2 lb fine green beans - cooked and drained
3 whole eggs - beaten
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
salt to taste

Dice bacon and cook in a skillet with olive oil until browned. Add garlic and cook for several minutes on low heat until fragrant. Cook pasta until al dente - this takes 4-5 minutes with angel hair. Mix egg and cheese together well. Drain pasta and add egg mixture while pasta is still very hot. Toss quickly so eggs do not scramble. Add green beans and bacon mixture. Toss until well combined and serve!
