Carbonara Pasta

I made a recipe for Carbonara Pasta tonight that looked really good, but it wasn't great. Not nearly as good as a recipe I already had. So instead of posting the new recipe, I'll post the tried and true.

1 pkg. (7 oz) spaghetti
8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesean cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream

Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package. While pasta is cooking, cook bacon in saucepan until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon; drain. Drain fat from saucepan, reserving 1 TB in saucepan.

Cook onion and garlic in bacon fat over medium heat about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Storin in spaghetti, cheese, and cream. cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Toss with bacon.

*You can add 2 cups of cubed chicken if desired.
