Christie's comfort carbonara!. Quick and simple comfort food, brought to you from me. Carbonara has been the subject of some severe bastardization here in the states, where we regularly eschew Italian tradition in favor of garlic, bacon. I have always thought carbonara was labour intensive but boy was I wrong!
Paste carbonara dupa reteta originala, facute asa cum scrie la carte, cu guanciale, parmezan sau pecorino si oua.
Savoarea aparte este data de piperul proaspat macinat care se adauga din belsug.

Christie's comfort carbonara! instructions
- Heat a pan up on medium-high heat with 1 ths of oil in it (I tend to use olive!). Rub one whole garlic clove over the bottom of the pan, and let sit..
- Dice the streaky bacon and place it in the pan. Cook until it begins to brown and the fat starts bubbling out of it. Take out the garlic clove..
- Put the two handfuls of peas (if they were frozen, microwave them first) into the pan of bacon and turn the heat down to medium-low. Stir occasionally to keep anything from burning..
- Cook the pasta as normal. When it's done (I tend to like it al dente !) take a tea mug and scoop some pasta water out. Set aside. Strain the pasta and let sit..
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 2 1/2 tbs of Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of black peoper.
- Dump the pasta into the pea and bacon mixture and mix around. Turn the heat off on the stove (very important!). Pour the pasta water onto the pasta, quickly followed by the egg mixture. Begin to mix the egg mixture and pasta together, taking care to work quickly so the egg doesn't cook in the hot pan..
- Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese onto the pasta as you are mixing the dish together! Enjoy 😊.
There is nothing groundbreaking about this pasta. James Martin's recipe for a classic carbonara uses fresh penne, but dried spaghetti also works well. It's the one dish I've mastered enough to make without exact measurements. If there's a word to describe my approach, it's cockiness. This recipe is the best carbonara I've ever made.
