Spaghetti Carbonara

Having spent most of the day in the kitchen yesterday, today we wanted something quick and easy that didn’t create lots of washing up. Stephen suggested carbonara so, after a quick dash to the shops for some eggs, we put this together in about 20 minutes. You do need good bacon though as there are so few other ingredients, we used lardons from Waitrose that are usually pretty good but weren’t brilliant this time. Next time we’ll put up with the extra washing up and chop up our own.

Pasta
1 packet lardons
2 eggs
1 small carton single cream
Parmesan
Salt and pepper

Put the pasta on to boil and fry the bacon until the fat has rendered. Combine the eggs and the cream with the parmesan and season with salt and pepper.

Drain the pasta, add the bacon and the cream and egg mixture. Combine and eat.
