Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

This is my family's beloved Spaghetti Carbonara recipe (like the title says, oddly enough).  When properly prepared (and I think it actually works better over an electric stove and a gas one), it comes out very creamy, though even not properly prepared, it tastes wonderful.

Ingredients

• 1 box spaghetti noodles (16 oz)
• 1 lb sausage (not too lean like Jimmy Dean; I prefer Bob Evans, particularly the Savory Sage flavor)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp salt

1. Make spaghetti (put salt in water for it).
2. Brown sausage (don't drain)
3. Drain and rinse spaghetti w/hot water.
4. Put it back in the pan.
5. Pour in sausage (w/ the grease)
6. Beat eggs in a bowl, then stir in.
7. Incrementally add (1/4 cup at a time) the Parmesan cheese while heating on low heat, stirring when it sizzles.  Be careful not to over-stir--it will get mushy.

Optionally, add ketchup or pepper to taste.
