Carbonara

Carbonara is one of my favourite type pasta, creamy ... cheesy but fatty... This dish is really v. simple and can be an emergency dish at home. Let's make it in this Typhoon 8 hoisted Monday night:



材料 :
Spaghetti or Fettuccine: 200g (for 2 ppl)
Bacon: 3 slices
蛋黃: 3 隻
Cream: 200 ml
Black Pepper: 1 teaspoon
Parmesan cheese (grated): 6 tablespoon
Herbs (optional)

Steps:

• Sauce - beat egg yolk, mix with cream, parmesan cheese, pepper, herbs togather. Set aside.
• fry the bacon strips, (can add some white wine)
  
• at the same time, boil the spaghetti as per the package (normally around 11 mins) once it is boiled, filter the hot water, put them into the salty bacon
• pour into the sauce and mix the spaghetti with it and bacon in the pan.
  
• mixed well. The heat in the spaghetti will slightly cooked the egg and melt the cheese to make the sauce think and cling onto the spaghetti.
• baked for 15 mins at 200 C
  

The recipe is mainly from Nigella Lawson's cookbook, with slight modification.
