What We are Eating - Spaghetti Carbonara


This recipe was an absolute homerun.  We inhaled it and all agreed that it was restaurant worthy and we could probably eat it once a week.  The sauce is made from a little bacon grease (how can you go wrong!!) and chicken broth that simmers until reduced.  The bacon adds just the right amount of saltiness but what makes this recipe is that poached egg.  Have you ever poached an egg?  I have not . . .well until I made this!  It was fun!  Dumping that egg in the just boiling water and watching it spin and wrap around itself!  Then, when you slice into it the butter yolk spills out and the soft white just almost melts into the pasta.  Mix it up so the yolk adds to the sauce and it is just amazing!  Just writing this makes me want to eat it again! 

You can find the recipe at Skinnytaste (of course!)
