Description

Spaghetti carbonara gets a quick and easy flavor upgrade with the addition of ranch seasoning to the classic egg sauce.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package dry spaghetti
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 egg yolks, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
Coarsely ground black pepper, to taste
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces diced bacon
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
2 While the pasta is cooking, whisk the eggs, yolks, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix, a small pinch of black pepper, and cheese together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute for about about 5 to 7 minutes, until beginning to crisp.
4 Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Add pasta to the skillet with the bacon over low heat. Stir to coat the pasta. Transfer pasta and bacon to a bowl, add the egg mixture and a small amount of the reserved pasta water for creaminess. Toss well to coat. Serve immediately with extra cheese for garnish.
