Important Notes

⚠️

Using a Knorr Chicken Stock Pot to season the pasta water adds more depth of flavor than salt alone, and complements the saltiness from the bacon and cheese.

⚠️

Cook the pasta for one minute less than the package instructions suggest. It will continue to cook when mixed with the hot sauce.

⚠️

The key to a creamy, unscrambled sauce is to use the residual heat of the pasta. Never put the egg mixture over direct heat.

⚠️

Don't mix the Parmesan into the egg sauce beforehand, as it can make the sauce sticky. Instead, layer it in the serving dish and on top for better texture.

⚠️

The starchy, flavorful pasta water is a great base for future soups or stews, so don't throw it away.
