Bacon Surprise!

Not to be confused with Pickle Surprise! Where's the pickle? That's the surprise!
Seriously, it's Bacon Surprise!
Bacon Surprise is actually an overcooked carbonara that I used to make with noodle-roni boxes of parmesan noodles. I don't know if they make those anymore but you don't need them to make plenty of bacon surprise.

It's fattening and has loads of carbs and BACON and CHEESE. What more do you need? Here we go:

Ingredients: cooked spaghetti broken into half or thirds before cooking. Drain your pasta, add 1/2 stick of butter and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Mix well while hot. Make sure it's in a big bowl.

1 lb of bacon cooked crisp, save the grease
parmesan cheese
garlic either a few minced cloves or 1/3 tsp granulated
dried basil about 1 tsp
salt, pepper
8 eggs
1/2 cup half n half or milk
some white wine (kind you would drink, if it's nasty to drink it's nasty to cook with)

In a bowl mix all the eggs, half n half, the garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated. Mix it well so there are hardly any lumps in it at all.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook 2-3 TBS bacon grease with a dash of white wine. When it starts to splatter quickly add the egg mixture. Let it sit for 20 seconds then start mixing and cooking fast. Mix it well until it starts to curdle and chunk up. When it "looks" just right quickly pour it over your pasta. Mix it all together and there you are. Bacon surprise. It's even better the next day. Feel free to tweak the recipe with more or less garlic, basil or salt n pepper until it's just right for you. Enjoy!
