"Don't we all just love Spaghetti Carbonara! This recipe was inspired by the movie eatpraylove and Classico. Light Alfredo from Classico is everything an Alfredo should be -- only lighter."

ingredients
- 453.59 g spaghetti
- 425.24 g classico light creamy alfredo sauce
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 226.79 g pancetta, thinly sliced
- 236.59 ml shallot, chopped
- 29.58 ml garlic, minced
- 118.29 ml dry white wine
- 118.29 ml parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 59.14 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
directions
- Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions and drain, reserving about 1/4 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pot and cover to keep warm. In a medium bowl, whisk together Pasta Sauce and eggs and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown pancetta for 3 to 4 minutes, or until crisp, turning occassionally. Reserve drippings. Place pancetta on paper towels and coarsely crumble or chop.
- In the same skillet with reserved drippings over medium high heat, cook shallots and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, not to let brown. Stir in wine and cook for another minute. Remove skillet from heat.
- Return pasta pot to stovetop over low heat. Add skillet mixture to warm pasta and lightly toss with tongs. Slowly add Pasta Sauce mixture, a little at a time, tossing pasta frequently to prevent eggs from scrambling. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until sauce is cooked through and thickened. Add reserved hot pasta water if needed to the sauce to desired consistency. Add cheese, parsley, and pancetta crumbles and cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.
- *TIP: If desired, substitute Classico Light Creamy Alfredo Pesto Sauce.
- *TIP: If desired, substitute 1/2 pound of thinly sliced pancetta with 1/2 pound of thin sliced bacon.

We have the cutest little grand children. He's a real charmer and a handful! And she's an absolute prescious little princess. No wonder grandparents love them so! I have a great husband who likes to help me cook and clean. <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" /> We love to garden and have a huge herb and vegetable garden every year. Wondering what to do with all the eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini is what led me to Zaar. My husband and I have a wonderful time cooking together, whether in the kitchen or on our deck. We love to eat and try new food. We just cook and eat it all! <img title="Kiss" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" /> I love any holiday when my family can come home to visit. For the holidays, we always cook the traditional fare, but add new twists by adding a few new recipes into the menus. It's always interesting to see what they think! I also love cooking for our office parties. You always know it's a hit when they ask for the recipe. <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" /></em></strong></span></p>
