Pasta Carbonara del Mar

Preparation

Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once at a rolling boil, add 1 tablespoon salt and cook pasta according to directions on package. When cooked, drain in colander and set aside until needed.

Step 2
Cut bacon crosswise into matchstick sized pieces. Place bacon in large sauté pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally until bacon turns golden brown.

Step 3
Leaving bacon and any accumulated juices in pan, add onion and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. After onion has cooked, add cream and bring to a boil; cook just until thick.

Step 4
Add shrimp and scallops and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the eggs, cheese, pasta, black pepper, and remaining salt. Continue to cook, stirring constantly for an additional 3-4 minutes until the whole mixture thickens, being careful to keep the eggs from scrambling.

Step 5
Serve with crusty bread and wine for a quick and flavorful dinner.
