Donna’s Gluten Free Spaghetti Carbonara

5 March 2016:  What fun we had when we hosted a Murder Mystery Party at our home in early March!  Each guest also brought a delicious dish and we served Grilled Lobster Tails and this Spaghetti Carbonara.  It is simple yet elegant and full of flavor.  Try it for your next dinner party!  Best, Donna:

Donna’s Gluten Free Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 sweet onion, chopped

One 3 ounce jar Hormel Bacon Bits

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 pound gluten free spaghetti

1 cup peas, frozen

2/3 cup milk (I use fat free)

2 eggs

2/3 + 1/3 cups Parmesan cheese, shredded

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Method:

Sauté the onion in olive oil over medium high heat and cook until golden.  Add bacon bits, salt and pepper.  Set aside.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions, adding peas once water comes to a boil.  Drain.  Mix together milk, eggs, and 2/3 cup cheese and add to pasta.  Stir in basil, onion and bacon.

Serve immediately in large bowl sprinkled with remaining 1/3 cup cheese.

Serves 4.
