Spaghetti Carbonara

This is my first attempt and I have to say I was quite happy. Few tweaks but I have definitely had worse from the shops!



Ingredients

Bacon

Garlic paste

Extra virgin olive oil

Spaghetti

Double Cream

Eggs (1 per person or 2 for a greedy Helen)

Cheese - whatever takes your fancy, I used Parmesan

Heat up the plate/bowl first. Best served in a hot dish

 



Bacon cooked with garlic and oil. Leave to stand once done.

Cook spaghetti



Mix Eggs, cheese and cream. I just used whatever quantities seemed right. Add Salt and Pepper.

 

When spaghetti is cooked add to bacon and oil, off the heat

Then put back in the original pan, try and keep some of the water too.

Add eggy mix straight away, again off the heat otherwise the eggs will scramble.

Voila!

What I would change: I would add butter once the spaghetti is cooked as I think the sauce needs this for depth of flavour. I would try and keep the bacon soft, I do like to cremate! Also a bit more pepper and cheese.
