Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside to cool.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- Once the bacon has cooled, crumble or chop it into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the cooled, cooked spaghetti and the crumbled bacon to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
- Using your hands or a spoon, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into small patties or fritters. Press them gently to ensure they hold together.
- In the same skillet you used for the bacon (or a clean one if you prefer), heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fritters to the skillet. Fry them in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the fritters and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the Spaghetti Carbonara Fritters while they're hot. They make a great appetizer, snack, or even a main dish when served with a side salad.
Tips:
- Use day-old, cooked spaghetti for better texture in the fritters.
- Cook the bacon until crispy to add extra crunch to the fritters.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper for a more authentic carbonara flavor.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the fritters from becoming greasy.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
Spaghetti Carbonara Fritters offer a delightful fusion of crispy texture and rich flavor, making them a fantastic addition to any meal. With simple ingredients and a few handy tips, you can easily whip up these fritters to impress your family and friends. Enjoy this creative take on a beloved Italian classic!
