Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe


Submitted by jynx013

Makes 4 servings


Very nice meal if you fancy a fresh carbonara sauce, not particularly good on the vegetarian/vegan front sadly due to the cream and bacon. Although the bacon may be substituted for quorn bacon or some other form of meat substitute the cream is sadly essential.

Ingredients
2 medium eggs, raw
1 cup cream
2 cloves garlic
6 medium slices bacon, chopped
2 cups spaghetti
50 g parmesan, shredded
1 Salt
1 Pepper
Directions
  1. Cut the bacon into small squares and slice the garlic cloves.

  2. Fry these in vegetable oil/fry-light until the bacon is small and crispy.

  3. Meanwhile mix the 2 raw eggs into the cream and add the parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Boil the spaghetti in water until al dente (or soft depending on your preference).

  5. Add the cream mixture and bacon/garlic mixture to the drained spaghetti and serve. Simple :)
