Christmas Carbonara Recipe:

- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil.
- Cook 12 strips of bacon in a frying pan (medium-high heat) until crispy. Put on paper towels to cool and to drain off the excess fat.
- Once cooled, chop bacon into small pieces (set aside).
- Slice 12 shallots, and mince 4 garlic cloves.
- Melt butter in a saute pan (medium-high heat) and add sliced shallots, minced garlic, and 4 tbsp of pine nuts. Saute until browned.
- Add 1 box of angel hair pasta to the boiling water. Cook until al dente (pasta box will give you amount of time).
- Lower the heat of saute pan to medium-low.
- Add one 8 oz jar of sun dried tomatoes, chopped bacon, fresh Italian parsley (chopped) and a grilled or baked chicken breast (optional) to the saute pan.
- Beat 4 eggs, 1 cup of half-and-half, 2 tsp of black pepper, and 1 cup of parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
- Remove saute pan from heat.
- Drain angel hair and place it into the saute pan (with the already-sauteed contents).

- Toss contents of pan.
- Top with parmesan and parsley.
Buon Appetito!
