Title: Pasta Carbonara
Post by: Scallywag on April 06, 2016, 09:19:24 PM

Mid week... I'm tired and wanted a quick and easy nice supper. Scrounged the fridge and found some bacon. Good place to start! Quick search for bacon and pasta I found a bunch for Carbonara pasta. Ok let's do it! I didn't really measure and kinda winged it here.
Started with six egg yolks and a splash of cream and beat it together

Got a pot of chicken stock ready for the pasta to cook in

Sliced some bacon as thin as I could. I think diced panchetta bacon would work better.

Cooked up and diced again after cooking

Chopped some fresh garlic and sautéed in a bit of reserved bacon fat with Italian seasoning

Cooked the pasta till el dente, drained and immediately transferred and tossed with the egg yolks
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160407/d12f195fc860d4c44085eedbe1389316.jpg)
Mixed the chopped bacon with the garlic and spices

Added to the pasta and tossed together

Scally,

I have wanting to make this for quite some time. Pancetta and lots of black pepper seem to be the key players in what I have seen.
Scally, I can't tell you how good that looks. Pushing my cook to the front burner
