Springtime Spaghetti Carbonara

Makes: 6 servings

Description: A vegetarian version of this family dinner favorite!

Ingredients:
1 pound  spaghetti
1 TBS  extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves  minced garlic
4  egg yolks
1/2 cup  heavy cream
1/2 cup  grated Parmesan cheese
8-12 stalks  asparagus, chopped

Instructions: Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a pinch of salt and spaghetti. Cook until al dente.
Reserve 1 cup cooking water; drain.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and saute until cooked.
Transfer cooked asparagus to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
Beat the egg yolks, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl until combined.
