Rice Carbonara

I'm not a big pasta fan, so made this traditionally pasta dish with rice as a sort of quick-risotto.

• 2 pieces of Bacon, diced
• 2 Egg Yolks
• 1/4 cup Romano or other Hard Strong Cheese
• 1 1/2 cups Short Grained Rice
• 3 cups Water
• Salt, Pepper & Basil

Cook the rice as according to the package.

Cook the bacon until almost crisp then put in a large bowl (straining out the grease).

Whisk the egg yolks with the cheese and add to the bacon. Stir in the cooked rice and add the seasonings to taste.

(Serves 2 - with a salad)
