7. Mix the egg-milk mixture with the cheese. While the spaghetti is cooking, sauté the onion and bacon. When the spaghetti is ready, drain the water, leaving a little bit of it. Transfer the spaghetti to the skillet where you cooked the onion and bacon. Mix well. Pour in the egg-cheese mixture. Quickly stir and turn off the heat. The residual heat of the skillet will cook the "Carbonara" sauce. Keep stirring constantly until the sauce becomes creamy and opaque, but does not turn into an omelet. Let the dish sit in the skillet for about 3–5 minutes. After that, the pasta must be immediately removed from the skillet, otherwise it will turn into a scrambled egg with pasta.
