Seafood Carbonara Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the bucatini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.

3. 3

   Sauté the Seafood

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Then add shrimp, crab meat, and crawfish tails. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the cooked pasta, diced tomato, and green peas to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through.

5. 5

   Prepare the Cream Sauce

   In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add reserved pasta water to reach the desired sauce consistency.

6. 6

   Mix Everything Together

   Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the cream sauce over the pasta mixture, tossing to combine and create a creamy texture. Add bacon back to the dish.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired.
