Pasta Carbonara

This Italian pasta dish is simple enough to make during the week, and works well for both a main dish or a side dish accompanying some protein.

1. Boil the noodles for about 8 minutes. They will be almost cooked, this is known as "al dente". Once the pasta has cooked, drain the water but do not rinse the noodles so that they stay hot.
   
2. Cut or break the bacon into small pieces.
   
3. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a pot on the stove, and add minced garlic and bacon. Cooked until the garlic starts to brown.
4. Remove the butter mixture from the heat, and add the pasta and toss it so the noodles are coated.
5. Mix in the egg yolk and the cheese. The heat from the noodles will cook the egg yolk.
6. Add in the milk and stir until combined.

Enjoy your meal!
