Carmina's New Version Bacon Carbonara Recipe

Someone once informed me that they don't add any cream or milk in their bacon carbonara. I decided to try what I had in my kitchen. Carmina's New Version Bacon Carbonara Recipe Ingredients: Cooked Bacon (chopped up) Any type of pasta noodles (drained and cooked) Any cheese (shredded) Any brand (butter) 4 Pieces of Eggs (scrambled) Black Pepper to taste Salt to taste Cooking Instructions: Cook the pasta noodles while it was in boiling water being cooked. I went ahead and started scrambling four pieces of eggs in a bowl using a fork.  I had sprinkled some black pepper and salt to the eggs.

It was very easy to those who didn't have that many ingredients in their home. NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe @ Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  a place to look, discover and share.
