Easy Green Bean Pasta Carbonara

 1 Box angel hair pasta
 1 Bag frozen green beans/~20 fresh green beans
 1 Vidalia onion- diced
 16 oz Bacon- cut into one inch pieces
 3 Eggs
 8 oz Parmesan cheese
 Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
1

Fill a large stock pot with salted water. Place it on the stove for it to boil. Then, place your one inch pieces of bacon into a hot saute pan.

2

While bacon is frying dice one onion. Add the onion once the bacon is about 3/4 of the way cooked.

3

When the water is boiling, add the beans. If using frozen, the water temperature will drop, add the pasta once water is back to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.

4

Once the bacon & onions are done cooking, use a coffee mug (or similar heat proof item) and scoop about 1/4 cup of water from the pot of pasta & beans. Use this water to deglaze the bacon pan. Remove from heat.

5

When pasta and beans are cooked (about 5-8 minutes, refer to pasta box) drain and return to stock pot. At this time crack three eggs in a small mixing bowl, whisk in cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

6

Mix bacon and onion into pasta. Add the egg/cheese mixture and mix well. The eggs will cook with the hot pasta. Be sure to mix it in well so you don't wind up with scrambled eggs!
