7. - 1 pound (450g) spaghetti
8. - 6 slices of bacon, chopped
9. - 3 large eggs
10. - 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
11. - Salt and pepper, to taste
12. - Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, as needed
13. - Romaine lettuce leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces
14. - Sliced tomatoes, for topping
15. - Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
17. ### Step-by-Step Instructions
19. 1. **Prep the Bacon**
20. - Begin by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside on paper towels to drain.
21. - In the same skillet, add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom. This will help you cook the pasta.
23. 2. **Cook the Pasta**
24. - While the bacon cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
26. 3. **Prepare the Sauce**
27. - In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Set aside.
28. - Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
30. 4. **Combine Ingredients**
31. - Return the skillet with the bacon to medium heat. Add the reserved pasta, stirring to coat it in some of the bacon fat and oil from the pan.
32. - Pour the egg and cream mixture over the pasta, stirring constantly to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency.
34. 5. **Finish with Cheese**
35. - Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and combined.
36. - Season with salt and pepper to taste.
38. 6. **Assemble the BLT Pasta Carbonara**
39. - Divide the pasta among bowls. Top each portion with some of the crispy bacon slices, torn romaine leaves, and sliced tomatoes.
40. - Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
42. 7. **Serve Hot**
43. - Serve your BLT Pasta Carbonara immediately while it's still hot to enjoy all its flavors at their peak.
45. ### Tips for Success
47. - *Use quality bacon*: The taste and texture will significantly impact the dish.
48. - *Don't overcook the pasta*: Al dente ensures a satisfying bite in every mouthful.
49. - *Melted cheese is key*: Ensure it's fully incorporated for a rich flavor.
