Spaghetti Carbonara

Cheap, easy and takes less than 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• A decent handful of spaghetti
• 1-2 slices of bacon
• 60ml (4 tbsp) cream
• 40g (1 1/2oz) cheese
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions

STEP 1:

Start boiling up the spaghetti

STEP 2:

While that’s doing, use some scissors to chop up your bacon

STEP 3:

Add a drop of oil to a pan and fry the bacon

STEP 4:

Add the cream, cheese and egg to a bowl and mix; separate the white from the yolk with an egg strainer (or a fork). You can use the leftover white in omelettes, etc..

STEP 5:

When the spaghetti is cooked (10-15 minutes after you put it in) drain it, then put it back in the pan.

STEP 6:

Add the bacon and sauce.

STEP 7:

Keep stirring it for a minute or two. The heat of the pasta cooks the egg. Make sure the egg doesn’t scramble into lumps.

STEP 8:

Enjoy!
