(Oldstuff) Pasta Carbonara
Can't go wrong with this one....Unless you're a vegetarian. Or are intolerant to pasta. Or are on a diet. Or....Anyway, I like it ;)
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 500g Pasta (preferably fresh tagliatelle)
- 6 Bacon rashers (sliced thinly) OR 140g Pancetta ham (sliced or cubed)
- 250ml cream (or half cream)
- 3xEggs (Beaten)
- 80g Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Pepper
Method:
Cook pasta in boiling water as per instructions. 5 minutes before it's ready, start preparing the sauce.
Cook bacon / Pancetta in a little olive oil until crisp then add the cream. Add seasoning and heat thoroughly.
Drain pasta, mix bacon mix with pasta. Add eggs and parmesan and mix gently for 2 minutes. The egg is cooked by the heat of the other ingredients, so it is safe!
This meal is very filling, but can be varied by including small slices of chicken with the ham.
