I found it in Runners World and it’s become my pre-race meal anytime I’m somewhere with a kitchen: • Sautee sliced garlic in olive oil until it just starts to brown, turn off heat & let it steep • Boil a pot of whole wheat pasta (I use spaghetti) • Strain the garlic out of the oil, set oil aside. • Sautee some chopped bacon (I use turkey bacon) in the pan where the oil was until crispy. • Drain pasta, pour the oil and bacon over the pasta, add some chopped parsley and parmesan cheese and serve. Funny. I am italian and I can tell you that if you smash whole raw eggs on top of it while you mix, you will do an excellent Carbonara (with peppers of course otherwise is not carbonara!). Rule is 1 egg for each person plus 1 egg for the pot 2 people => 3 eggs
