Egg-based pasta sauce

[JParrish]

I have the barest memory of a spaghetti/linguini sauce that involves beating an egg in the serving bowl, then tossing in hot noodles and mixing with herbs or bacon. Am I remembering this right, or am I actually thinking of fried rice?

You're not crazy JP, at least not certifiable ... the dish you're talking about is probably Pasta Carbonara.

Yup, carbonara for sure. I used to have chickens, and that was one of my favorite uses for eggs.

We used to have that without the bacon on Fridays when I was growing up (couldn't eat meat on Fri) My mother called it pasta and egg.

Just Google pasta carbonara - when I first tasted it I thought I was in heaven.
