Had some eggs and cooking bacon to use up, so decided on carbonara for tonight.
Some chopped onion, pepper, bacon, mushroom and garlic was fried in a pan with a bit of butter.
Pan of boiling water to cook the spaghetti.
Beat the eggs in a jug with some fresh black pepper and parmesan. I used Grana padano its very similar and was down to 50p per pack at lidl last weekend.
Immediately after draining, while the pasta is still very hot, return to the pan and pour over egg mix and the fried 'bits'. Toss and stir to make sure its all coated.
The residual heat from the pasta will cook the egg and create a sauce.
Top with more black pepper and parmesan and your done :) Italian fast food at its best. Served ours with a bag of reduced salad and some HM rosemary bread.
