There was quite a bit of pasta left from the day that I attempted to make pasta from scratch (see related blog- Home Made Pasta). I froze the leftover and used it last night to make pasta carbonara. This is yet another easy midweek dinner recipe. True carbonara recipe does not use cream....
Linguini Carbonara Recipe (serves 2)
Pasta, for two
small knob butter
2 eggs, gently whisked
8 bacon pieces, cut into slices
1 cup frozen baby peas
1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
salt and lots of pepper!
grated parmesan for topping
Cooked pasta in boiling water until al dente. In a separate frying pan, melt butter. Add bacon and mushroom and fry until bacon caramelises slightly. Add the peas to the pan. Remove pasta straight from the boiling water and add to pan with bacon mixture. Quickly mix in the eggs to the hot pan. Remove pan from heat. Mix well and season generously with salt and pepper. Divide pasta onto plates. Top with parmesan.
