Spaghetti Carbonara with Peas

Prepare American Beauty^® Spaghetti according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

Whisk eggs together in a small bowl; set aside.

Cook bacon over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes; drain excess drippings. Add frozen peas and stir for another 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through.

Add chopped garlic to bacon and pea mixture and cook about 1 minute.

Reduce heat to low and quickly stir in cooked pasta, egg mixture, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and toss. Stir in reserved pasta water a little at a time until creamy.

Turn off heat and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
