Spaghetti Carbonara. An Italian friend of mine who cooks told me that the proper way to make smooth Carbonara sauce is to combine the beaten eggs with the grated parmesan, and then to pour that mixture onto the spaghetti once the spaghetti has cooled slightly (so that it's still hot, but so that the eggs don't cook and the cheese melts seamlessly into the eggs and pasta). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions while you start the sauce. Spaghetti Carbonara
