#97 The Case of Spaghetti Low Carbonara Footprint and What it's Like to be the Sidekick in an Amateur Sleuthing Duo

enough spaghetti for four people (I have a bright yellow spaghetti measure, do you?)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
salt
pepper
1/2 cup simulated bacon chips (or 1/2 that amount if using simulated bacon bits or 1 Tofurky Italian-style Tofu Sausage with Sun Dried Tomatoes minced in a blender)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Cook the spaghetti.

Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, salt and pepper to taste.

Just before the pasta is al dente, sauté the garlic and rosemary in the olive oil.

Drain the pasta (saving 1/4 cup pasta water) and toss it in the fragrant oil.

Whisk the reserved hot pasta water into the egg mixture.

Toss with the spaghetti until the sauce thickens.

Mix in the simulated bacon chips.

Check seasoning then plate and sprinkle with the parsley.

Serves 4.

PS I know I'm going to make my vegan version from now on. I simply substitute egg style liquid for the eggs. My Simply Eggless equivalent for 3 eggs is 3/4 cup. Plus I substitute Pine Nut Parmesan for the Parmesan.
