The easiest Carbonara in the world!

This is seriously the easiest dinner ever!  Thanks to a pot of Philly - It only takes 25 minutes, uses very few ingredients and is a seriously tasty mid-week dins.  Although it doesn't taste as if it is fresh out of Italy, it's a pretty good cheat.  This bad boy serves 6, so give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

Ingredients:
- Spaghetti 
- 6 rashers bacon cut into strips
- 180g Philadelphia Light 
- 2 egg yolks 
- 3 stalks flat parsley leaves, chopped 
- 300 ml veggy stock 
- Parmesan cheese to serve 

Method:
  1. Cook the pasta.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, fry bacon strips in a large pan and simmer with vegetable stock until the liquid has reduced by half.
  3. Beat together the Philly and egg yolks in a bowl or mug.  
  4. Drain the cooked pasta, and return to pan.  Add bacon bits and stir through the egg and Philly mixture until well blended.  (The heat from the pan will cook the eggs enough.)
  5. Serve with a generous helping of Parmesan and parsley and hey presto!
