Carbonara Miner's Daughter pasta, also known as Pasta alla Carbonara, is a classic Italian dish that combines creamy sauce, eggs, and bacon to create a comforting and flavorful meal. This recipe adds pancetta and garlic to elevate the dish's savory taste. While its origins are debated, many believe that the dish was first created by Italian coal miners, who would use raw egg and cured pork to create a quick and satisfying meal while working underground. Today, it is a popular dinner option for those in search of a hearty and savory pasta dish.

Instructions

3.	Remove pancetta and garlic from pan and set aside.
4.	In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and 3/4 cup of grated cheese until combined.
