Charcoal Maker's Vermicelli (Vermicelli Alla Carbonara) image

Vermicelli pasta with a pasta sauce from ham, bacon, onion, mushrooms, eggs and cheese. Extremely rich and filling I bought a copy of a book, Massey's Food and Wine Index when I was in the Navy. It had no recipes just descriptions of dishes, flavors, and basic ingredients. I used it and memories of Spaghetti alla Carbonara and other Itallian pastas to make-up this variation.

Categories     Ham

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 slices cooked ham, cut into fine juliennes 1/8-inch x 1/4-inch max
4 slices bacon, finely diced
1 large white onion, diced
4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 eggs, beaten well
2 cups fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
2 cups pecorino romano cheese, grated
8 ounces vermicelli
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt

Steps:

  • Pasta:
  • Place a couple of quarts of water in a large pot. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, garlic salt and onion salt and bring to a rolling boil. Add vermicelli, allow it to return to a boil then reduce to simmer for eight to nine minutes.
  • When a string of the cooked, vermicelli flung at the porcelain steel refrigerator door adheres to the door without dropping to the floor, the pasta is "al dente" (ready). Empty into a collander to drain, then place on the plate.
  • Coordinate with sauce to bring both to completion immediately before serving.
  • Sauce:
  • Place 4 Tbsp olive oil and butter in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add ham, bacon, onion and mushrooms and sauté until onions are translucent. Sprinkle grated cheese over contents of saucepan and allow cheese to melt into a layer covering ingredients with oil bubbling through in places.
  • While pasta is draining, remove pan from heat and stir in eggs. Continue to stir until well mixed. The hot oil, butter, onions, mushrooms, ham, and bacon will cook the eggs perfectly.
  • Immediately place the pasta on the plate and top with the Carbonara sauce.
  • Serve with sliced tomatoes on a bed of lettuce with oil and vinegar dressing.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually use whatever pasta I have on hand, and it always turns out great. The sauce is also very versatile. I've added chopped bacon, pancetta, and even shrimp to it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I had some cooked spaghetti in the fridge, and I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great! The sauce is very flavorful and creamy, and the spaghetti is a great substitute for vermicelli.

I'm a vegetarian, so I usually make this recipe with tofu instead of pancetta. It's just as delicious, and it's a great way to get some extra protein into my diet.

This recipe is a great way to introduce kids to carbonara. The vermicelli is a lighter and more delicate pasta that's easy for kids to eat. The sauce is also very flavorful and creamy, but it's not too heavy.

This is my go-to recipe for carbonara. It's simple to make and always turns out delicious. I love the creamy sauce and the al dente vermicelli. I also like to add a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

I've tried many carbonara recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of the garlic and white wine really makes a difference. I also love that this recipe uses vermicelli instead of spaghetti. It's a lighter and more delicate pasta that pa
