Chicken Carbonara

Ingredients

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced
1 pint half and half
8 egg yolks
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan
1 box of thin spaghetti pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped Basil for garnish

Directions

Whisk together the egg yolk, half & half and Parmesan.

Return your pan to med-low heat. Add your cooked pasta and egg/cream mixture and toss for about 4 minute…
