You can't go wrong with a good home-cooked pasta dish and Lily has shared her take on the Italian restaurant staple, carbonara:
Ingredients
- 350g spaghetti
- 3 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- 100g pancetta
- 50g grated pecorino
- 2 garlic cloves
- 50g unsalted butter
Method
- Boil a full kettle and add the hot water to a pot with a sprinkle of salt. Boil 350g of spaghetti for 15 minutes.
- Crack and beat 3 eggs, add black pepper to the mixture and set aside.
- Measure 100g of pancetta, add 25g of grated pecorino, and set aside.
- Peel and crush 2 garlic cloves using the flat side of a knife.
- Add 50g of unsalted butter to a slightly warm pan.
- Once the butter has melted, add the cheese and pancetta, stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic.
- Whilst the pancetta is cooking, add 25g of grated pecorino to the eggs and stir well.
- Remove the garlic from the pan using a spoon and throw away.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the egg mixture into the pan and fold in, ensuring that the egg doesn't scramble.
- Sprinkle any extra cheese and garnish with salt and pepper!
