Carbonara

Ingredients
  

  • Pasta of choice
  • Double cream
  • Eggs
  • Bacon (lardons) or pancetta
  • Cheese
  • Salt & pepper
  • Garlic

Instructions
 

  • You need 2 pots or wok.
  • Put a pot to boil with water enough for your pasta.
  • In the other wok, fry lardons with garlic. I did not add oil as my wok is non stick and the lardons will give me some oil.
  • Meanwhile in a jug crack your eggs in. I use 3 yolks and one whole egg. you can just use yolks if you want a richer taste. Then mix in the double cream (as much as you like) I used a cup.
  • When pasta is ready NOT soft but al dente transfer over to the hot lardon pan and turn off the heat.
  • It is very important that you do not pour in your eggs & cream mixture when your pan is too hot or you will have scramble eggs with pasta!
  • If your pasta is too dry (aka my family like saucy) you can add in a bit of your pasta water. Season with salt and pepper AFTER you taste because cheese and lardons or bacon can be salty.
  • Serve immediately.
