Brazilian-Style Carbonara Pasta

1.Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, following package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water before draining the pasta.

2.In a large skillet, fry the diced bacon until crispy. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

3.In a bowl, whisk the eggs and mix with the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4.Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the bacon and onion, mixing well to incorporate the flavors.

5.Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add the egg mixture, stirring rapidly so the eggs do not overcook and form a creamy sauce. If necessary, add a little of the reserved cooking water to adjust the sauce consistency.

6.Serve immediately, garnishing with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
