Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Earlier today my eye was drawn to an article on The Guardian's website about fast food, as in cooking (and probably eating) it quickly rather than buying it from your favourite corporate or otherwise takeaway outlet. It ended with the words:

"What are your favourite quick dishes?"

Which inspires me to share one that I'm really liking at the moment, Spaghetti alla Carbonara. Shamefully, this is a dish I have only recently learnt to cook (I blame my non-European heritage) but this does not stop it being one of my favourite genuinely quick dinners which I cook today for two.
The first thing I did was heat a saucepan with some butter before adding around 100g of bacon lardons to brown and at the same time I boil a kettleful of water. Once boiled I pour it into a large saucepan with a sprinkle of salt, before bringing it again to the boil and adding 200g of pasta; I use spaghetti today. Next I beat together 3 egg yolks from my work colleague's home hens (I traded a handful of home grown chillis for half a dozen fresh eggs - a fair trade I'd like to think) and combine them in a bowl with a tablespoon or two of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
By the time the lardons have browned, the pasta should be cooked as well and I check that this is the case before proceeding... taste pasta - check, nibble lardon - check. I then take both pans off the heat and drain the pasta before quickly adding the browned, lardons, egg mixture and seasoning followed by a good stirring. I serve up around 20 minutes after starting. Quick and tasty!
