Spaghetti Carbonara

This was pretty good. The person who shared it with me added fresh mushrooms. Wish I had as well. With regard to the eggs, aren't they all pasteurized at the grocery store? If not, I totally poisoned my family last night.

3 large pasteurized eggs
3/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 t. black pepper
7 ounces whole-grain spaghetti (I used Ronzoni smart taste)
10 center-cut bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 c. frozen petite green peas cooked (optional)

1. Combine eggs, 1/2 c. cheese, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Coook pasta according to package directions, omitting fat & salt. Drain, reserving 1 c. cooking liquid.
Add hot pasta, bacon, and if desired, peas to egg mixture. Gradually add enough reserved cooking liquid to reach desired consistency, tossing well. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. cheese.
Yield: 6 servings (about 1 cup each)
