Ingredients

3 slices bacon uncookedPam butter flavor cooking spray1 stick unsalted Butter at room temperature3 egg yolks10 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese1 package uncooked Pasta of choice1 - 3 tablespoons of milk as needed for sauce

Directions

Coat frying pan with Pam spray and cook bacon. When bacon is finished, cut and set aside. Sauce will need to be ready before pasta is completed for it to cook correctly. For Sauce: Combine one stick (8 tbspn) of cooled off but melted butter, parmesan or romano cheese (your choice) and egg yolks until creamy. Sometimes I might add a few tablespoons of fat free milk if I need to make it creamier, but for the most part mine is always a bit lumpy. Add black pepper as desired. When pasta is finished boiling, strain quickly and return to pot (leave a small amount of water in pasta. Add bacon to pasta, and add sauce to pasta. Stir until rich and creamy but do not add more heat. Heat from pasta should cook sauce to perfection. Serve Immediately. I normally start cooking the bacon and boiling water for pasta, then I make the sauce while the pasta is boiling - it all comes together in about 20 minutes tops.

Rosemary Balsamic Sirloin Kabobs

Simple and straight forward, this recipe could be made the day ahead of time, the morning of to save the marinade time. I make two pounds at once, marinade over night, and freeze off in portion sizes the next day while i skewer my kabob for dinner. That way, all you have to do is pull it out the night before and skewer it the next day just before grilling or baking.Submitted by: MOTIVATION4LEA

Yummy! I used turkey bacon and cut the butter in half and it was delicious! The kids even liked it! I had my serving with a big heap of frozen spinach. - 8/18/11
