Spaghetti Carbonara!!
I only measure what needs measuring
Ingredients
Spaghetti
Bacon- fat trimmed off (we use smoked)
Ham
One onion (we use red onions)
Garlic
28g parmesan cheese per person (HEA)- (you can use normal cheese too)
Salt and pepper
One egg
200ml chicken stock
Method:
1. Pop your pasta on to boil (when you drain it you need to keep about 2-3 ladles of the water you used to boil pasta in.
2. While pasta is boiling- mix the cheese, egg, salt and pepper into a bowl with a whisk- when your pasta is done- use the pasta water you took aside and whisk into this mixture.
3. Fry the ham and bacon with frylight - once cooked pop to one side.
4. In the same pan fry the onion, garlic, add the chicken stock and reduce until the stock gets a little thicker and kind of coats the onions and garlic.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, mix the cheese mixture, the bacon and ham and the onions and stock all together!
6. Toss well and cook through for about 2 mins, make sure the pasta is all coated.
7. Sprinkle a little cheese on the top if you want.
-You can also add some other veggies if you want, we put some asparagus in ours!
Easy and tasty pasta for something different, first time we have tried and will be doing again. Even the OH liked it.
