Asparagus Carbonara

Unfortunately I don't like many vegetables...I blame it on my mom's serving of canned vegetables when I was a child (she loves when I say that).  But in recent years I have tried very hard to expand my choices, and asparagus luckily has passed the test as one vegetable that I actually do like...woohoo!  Spring is asparagus's prime season (from what I've read), so I figured this was a good time to share with you one of our favorite main dishes.  Asparagus Carbonara features asparagus obviously, but also yummy things like pasta, bacon, cheese, and eggs into a different, filling, easy, and tasty meal. 
To make it, you'll need:

• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 lb. spaghetti (we use the Plus or whole-wheat kind)
• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 3-4  inch pieces
• 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 5 slices bacon, chopped (we use turkey bacon)
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup white wine

First, make your pasta by following the directions on the box.
At the same time, roast your asparagus in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.  They will look something like this once you're done:

Again, at the same time, beat the eggs and combine it with the Parmesan cheese:

Next, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the bacon and cook until it's crisp.  Stir in the garlic.  Add wine and cook one minute.

Finally, take everything: the pasta, the cheese/egg mixture, the asparagus, and the bacon and combine it in a bowl.  Mix well and devour!

Try it and let me know what you think:)
