Spaghetti Carbonara
1# bacon
3 TBSP butter
3/4 C Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 eggs, beaten
parsley
black pepper
Cook spaghetti, and drain. While spaghetti cooks, fry bacon until desired crispness, drain on paper towels. Clean pan of all bacon drippings. Melt butter and saute onions. When the onions are still somewhat crisp, move them to one side of the pan, and add spaghetti. Move onions to the top of spaghetti. Put 1/2 the cheese on top, then drizzle the beaten eggs over all. Toss with 2 forks and continue cooking on medium low heat. The eggs and cheese mixture will coat the spaghetti. When dry, add the bacon and toss to warm. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over top, and add parsley for color and black pepper to taste.

Old Spaghetti Factory's Spaghetti with Burnt Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup mizithra cheese-Substituted Parmesan Cheese
pasta of choice
There is a terrific dish served by The Old Spaghetti Factory chain, called Spaghetti with Browned Butter,. It is served topped with shredded Mizithra cheese (a Greek hard cheese). If mizithra is not available (I am able to easily locate it St. Louis at cheese shops and some supermarkets), a blend of ricotta salata and romano is suggested
Browned Butter Procedure: Cut 2 sticks of butter into 8 pieces and place in a 2-quart sauce pan. Place the pan of butter on a burner on medium heat. Bring butter to a slow boil (about 5 minutes).
Once the butter begins to boil, stir constantly to prevent residue from sticking to the bottom of the pan. As the butter cooks, it will start to foam and rise. Continue stirring, otherwise the butter foam could overflow (about 5 minutes) and catch fire.
Once the butter stops foaming and rising, cook until amber in color (about 1 to 2 minutes). It will have a pleasant caramel aroma.
Turn off the heat and remove pan from burner. Let the sediment settle to the bottom of the pan for a few minutes.
Pour the brown butter through a strainer into a small bowl. Do not disturb the residue at the bottom of the pan.
The brown butter can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a microwave as needed.
Boil the pasta of choice until Al Dente. Drain pasta and divide into four servings. Spread 1/4 cup of Mizithra over each pasta serving. Top with 1/4 cup of hot brown butter.(We found that was way too much butter, so we poured a couple of big spoonfuls, and topped with cheese).
