SPAGHETTI CARBONRA 
1/4 lb. bacon, diced
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 c. ham, cut into thin julienne strips
9-10 oz. spaghetti noodles, broken in half, cooked
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 eggs, beaten

Brown bacon in large heavy skillet or wok over medium high heat until cooked, but not crisp. Pour off fat and set bacon aside.

To same pan, add oil, butter, garlic and ham. Saute lightly over medium heat. Add the cooked spaghetti, bacon, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir to mix well.

Turn heat on low, pour the eggs over and toss quickly to coat the spaghetti evenly with the eggs. Serve immediately. Serves 4-6 people.

Hint: Cook the spaghetti noodles "al dente" (don't cook it to death!)
