Pasta carbonara!

Made pasta carbonara tonight... It didn't end up beautiful, but it is delicious!

Cook pasta.  Sauté bacon, garlic, then peas.  Mix two eggs (beaten) with a cup of parmesan.  Drain pasta, reserving half a cup of pasta water.  Turn off heat on sauté pan and add pasta immediately to it.  Add eggs mixture, and mix well until eggs are cooked.  The heat has to be turned off to avoid scrambling the eggs.  Very tasty!

Pesto pasta with bacon-wrapped asparagus!

Pasta tossed with red pesto, olive oil, fresh green peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes... served with asparagus wrapped in bacon and roasted in a cast-iron skillet.  Sprinkle some parmesan and romano on top and it is absolutely delicious!
