If you're a fan of creamy pasta, this twist on spaghetti carbonara will not disappoint. Using raw eggs might seem strange, but cooking the mixture just slightly on the stove top right before serving thickens and cooks the eggs into a lovely, creamy sauce (with no lumps). Top with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Ingredients
Method
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic and onion, stirring, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add ham and peas; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, cream and pepper. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling lightly salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain.
Remove skillet from heat; immediately stir in pasta and egg mixture until well combined. Return to low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is slightly thickened and creamy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with green onion.
