GIORGIO'S SPAGHETTI CARBONARA 
6 egg yolks
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
500 g. bacon, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp. oregano
olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
750 g. spaghetti

Mix first 5 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Fry bacon with med heat until most of the fat is released, but before it becomes crispy. Remove fat as it is produced. Use a large pot, pasta will be added to this later.

Add white wine and oregano. Reduce the wine at low to med heat.

Add onion and garlic to bacon and sauté for 10-15 (?) minutes. Add olive oil for the last few minutes.

About half ways through step 4 begin to boil the spaghetti. When spaghetti is ready, mix it into the bacon.

Mix in the cream mixture, one half at a time.

Great recipe....I used the egg whites and added less cream to make it a bit more diet friendly and it turned out great!

Wow! That is so rich. My family loved it, but I fear it's a once a month dish.

Wonderful Spaghetti Carbonara, a little more elaborate than the traditional dish and much better tasting. Reminds me of the Spaghetti Carbonara at Residence Bologna in Prague.

This Carbonara is the best Carbonara I have ever tasted, out of any Italian restaurant I have ever been in, and I would suggest that you should make it if you like Italian food as I do. Ciao. Phil Hughes, Southport UK

I have tried several carbonara recipes since returning from Italy but never quite finding one that tastes "just right". This recipe is about as close to Italy as you can get! I made a huge (1.5) times the amount and it was devoured by my kids and exchange students. There was none left over.. not even a scrap.
