Pasta Carbonara

Ingredients:

2 green zucchinis 

1 medium onion

1/2 lb. bacon

1 lb. rotini pasta

1 pint light cream

1 egg

8 oz. finely shredded cheddar cheese

paprika (to taste)

salt (to taste)

pepper (to taste)

cooking spray

Directions:

Boil water for pasta. Dice 2 zucchinis and medium onion. Spray a large fry pan with cooking spray, add diced vegetables, cook until tender. Add paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook bacon in a frying pan. When cooked to a crisp, add bacon to the vegetables, along with some of the drippings for added flavor. When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain water and return it to the pot. Crack 1 egg into the pasta, stir briskly, and replace lid. (This will cook the egg) Add 1 pint of light cream to the pasta, then stir in vegetables and bacon. Lastly, add 8 ounces of cheese and stir thoroughly. Serve hot with my quick and easy garlic bread! Enjoy!
