Hi sparkles this is my official home recipe for carbonara sauce.
I learned to make this in the passed year and it rocked my world. It is really easy. And really delicious possibly too delicious.
This Recipe Serves two
Ingredients
2 new, fresh eggs (one egg per person serving)
60g/2oz bacon chunks Or not. I have had it with and with out and it is just as good without the bacon. The turkey bacon was not so great for me. But if you love turkey bacon it might be a great substitute for you.
I also used tiny chopped vegi's like olive mushroom pepper and zucchini
20g/0.7oz parmesan cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
Pepper
Salt
Tools
Small bowl (for whisking egg)
Frying pan
Hand whisk or fork (No Blender)
STEP 1 - Crack the eggs into a bowl and separate the whites and yolks use a fork (or whisk) and whisk the yolks until fully mixed and smooth.
STEP 2 - Grate the parmesan or poor in pregrated parmesan.
Put 1 tablespoon of Olive oil in and mix all ingrediants together. ( Set this aside in room temperature. (save some of the whites separately in a small bowl. To glaze with when serving.This is good if you won't be using bacon grease.)
STEP 3 - Heat up frying pan fry bacon till golden and crispy.
- Set bacon aside and let cool then chop bacon up into desired size. ( I like it small like the size of bacon bits)
Place in bowl and set to the side with other desired garnish.
That’s it!
You now have the main elements of carbonara sauce.
All that’s left is…
1. Boil up and drain roughly 240g/8.5oz of spaghetti (or any other pasta).
2. Pop the bacon pan back on the heat for a minute and mix in the pasta, coating it thoroughly in the bacon oil.
3. Finally, poor pasta into cabonara sauce and mix it all up. quickly place it into servings sprinkle bacon and other desired garnish and serve.. (Cabonara is supposed to be served hot and you can not really reheat so make sure your ready to rock before you drop that pasta in the sauce)
This is a rich flavor of pasta sauce for me it is even richer then Alfredo sauce. I usually make it in small portions. And like I said
SERVE IT QUICK AND HOT
And keep your cabonara room tempurature while you wait for the pasta to be done.
Extra Garnish Ideas: (All Finely Chopped) Mushroom , Olive , Pepper,
Peppers Green/Red/Yellow, Parmesan, capers.
