Spaghetti Carbonara, Pasta Sauce Recipes

By Paula

Unashamedly Italian, this is an interesting alternative to pasta and tomato sauce. This dish is so quick to prepare it is a household favourite.

Preparation Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes

Ingredients: Serves 4
1 pack cubetti di pancetta (wafer thin cured ham cut into strips will suffice)
1 onion, finely diced
1 red chili, finely chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
3 eggs
Salt and pepper
Spaghetti (or penne or other pasta of choice)

Cooking Instructions:

1. Boil a big pan of water and add spaghetti to cook.

2. Heat frying pan and once hot add the pancetta.

3. After 5 minutes, add onion and chili and cook for a further 5 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, beat eggs together with cheese, and season.

5. When cooked, drain pasta, add to frying pan and stir the sauce through.

6. Add egg mixture to pan, stir through so it coats all the pasta, turn off heat and leave to sit for 1 minute. The egg should be starting to set but not quite (not raw but not scrambled).
