Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara With Bold Bacon Flavor

"I was seeking a bolder flavor flavor of bacon without increasing the amount of bacon in the recipe. I also wanted a creamy rich sauce without altering the traditional ingredients. The trick was infusing the spaghetti with the bacon flavor using the Fond and whipping the egg whites to increase the body and creaminess of the sauce."
