Quick Pasta
Carbonara
When you want make something really quick and tasty why not
try Pasta Carbonara.This is my version of the dish which is super quick and
easy as I use the cream to create the sauce and not eggs as is traditionally
used. Pasta Carbonara originates from Rome in Italy and it was created in the
20th century. The smoked bacon merges with the creamy sauce well.
It’s the perfect comfort food! And I for one am a big fan of comfort-food
cuisine.
You will need:
1 large red onion
Dried basil
1 pack of smoked diced bacon
Garlic (powdered or fresh)
1 container of single fresh cream (about 300ml)
Spaghetti ( 1 generous handful)
Serves: 2
generous portions
Garnish:
Fresh basil
Parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Method:
Firstly dice the red onion and garlic and add to the pan
with a generous dribble of olive oil. Next add the diced smoked bacon and 1 tsp.
of dried basil. Over a medium heat begin to fry.
While this is frying start to bring the water for the
spaghetti to the boil and add a pinch of salt.
Once the Onion, garlic and bacon has cooked, take off the
heat and set to the side.
Once the spaghetti has cooked, drain and add to the Onion,
garlic and bacon to the pot and stir in well. Next add the fresh cream and
season with some black pepper, place the pot back on the heat and cook for a
further 5 minutes, stirring well so that all the flavours merge together.
After all the flavours have merged, serve the portions into
two bowls and sprinkle with parmesan and black pepper and garnish with fresh basil.
Buon Appetito!
