directions

  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain, reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan for future use.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook following package directions.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat the reserved bacon fat in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the peas and asparagus, saute for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs and milk.
  • Drain the pasta and transfer it immediately to a large serving bowl. Pour the egg mixture and parmesan on top of the pasta and toss for about 30 seconds to coat the pasta and gently cook the eggs. It should form a creamy sauce. Add the vegetable and bacon, toss to incorporate them. Season with sauce and pepper.
  • Serve in individual bowls.

My husband, Paul, and I enjoy travel, good food and spending time with family. We have six fun, busy kids (blended family). I adore greyhounds but don't currently have one. They are sweet, calm dogs. I can highly recommend adopting a retired racer. Update - We did recently adopt a Staffordshire/Shepard mix from a rescue group. He's lovable and sweet, though needs to be much more active than our old greys did. <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> I have lived in California, Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, Colorado, North Carolina, Austria (you know, The Sound of Music) and Germany (ahh Bavaria!)
