Spaghetti Carbonara Omlette

Friday nights are my favorite time of the week. The work week is over, the weekend is starting, and I get to hang with Chris and Alex while drinking fun beer and playing croquette. I never win but it is fun either way.


This Friday night my boyfriend's mom tried a new recipe, Spaghetti Carbonara for dinner and let me take this time to thank her for making something so delicious. I really can't think of anything that eggs and bacon wouldn't make even better. So while we were all sitting on the back porch eating dinner and drinking Summer Shandys, great ideas kept flowing through our heads of what other great recipes could come from this spaghetti and this morning we made it. So welcome blogger community to the delicious Leftover Spaghetti Carbonara Omlette.

Spaghetti Carbonara Omlette

1 pound Spaghetti
12 oz Bacon Chopped
1 Onion Chopped
1 Green Pepper Chopped
1 Clove Garlic Minced
6 Eggs
1/2 Cup Parmesan or Italian Blend Cheese
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Dry White Wine 

First dice the bacon and get it into a pan to cook. Cook until it is slightly crispy and then you will cook your veggies in the bacon grease. YUM! While the bacon is crisping start your pasta. Cook the spaghetti until al dente and drain the pasta very well.
Once the bacon is cooked drain some of the bacon grease out of the pan and throw in the garlic. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes then add half of the onion into the grease. Cook the onion until it is soft then add the white wine. I prefer Sauvignon Blanc but any white wine will work. Cook for one minute then add the bacon and the spaghetti into the pan. Add just a dash of olive oil to keep the spaghetti from sticking to the pan. Add the eggs that you have beaten and let them cook.
In a separate pan add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil and the rest of the onion and the green pepper. Let these cook until they are soft. Plate your spaghetti and top with the onion and green pepper. Salt and pepper your dish to taste and serve! Great any time of the day!
