| Step | Description |

| 1 | Cook the pasta following the instructions on the package. |

| 3 | Add the minced garlic to the pan and saute for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. |

| 6 | Pour the cream mixture into the pan with the cooked onion, bacon, and garlic. Cook over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is heated through. Be careful not to overcook, as this may result in scrambled eggs. |
| 7 | Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper, if needed, to taste. |
| 8 | Drain the cooked spaghetti thoroughly and transfer it to a large serving bowl. |
| 9 | Pour the creamy carbonara sauce over the spaghetti and toss gently to coat each strand evenly. |
