Best 3 My Fake Pasta Carbonara Recipes

THE BEST CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
• Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
• Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
• Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat an empty 9 x 12 baking dish or serving dish (I prefer pyrex for this, you can see under it to make sure the ingredients are mixed) in an oven at 250 F.
• Fry the bacon until well done, crumble into a medium to large bowl.
• Reserve the fat for later use if you'd like.
• Either by hand or with a food processor, finely mince the black olives and combine with the bacon.
• In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until cooked through.
• Combine with the bacon/olive mixture and set aside.
• Beat the eggs and cream together until well combined but not frothy.
• Meanwhile, boil the fettucini in about 6 quarts of boiling water, 6 minutes for fresh fettucini, about 12 for dried (a little less if you like al dente).
• Drain well.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven.
• The next step sort of has to be done quickly: Dump the pasta into the baking dish and toss immediately with the butter.
• Pour the egg and cream mixture over the pasta and toss to coat, enjoying the sizzling sound you hear.
• Add the sausage/olive/bacon mixture and parsley, and toss to combine.
• Add the parmesan cheese and toss again to combine.
• Serve immediately.
• This pasta keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
• This is a good thing, because as everyone knows, the thing about Italian food is, you eat it and you're hungry again 20 days later.

PASTA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Heat the pasta water: Put a large pot of salted water on to boil (1 tablespoon salt for every 2 quarts of water.)
• Beat the eggs and half of the cheese: In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in about half of the cheese.
• Cook the pasta: Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the dry pasta, and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil.
