How To Make Carbonara Pasta:

Carbonara pasta is a wonderful easy dish to cook.

A perfect dish to make when you are limited for time is this classic Carbonara pasta as it is very quick to make.

This Carbonara pasta recipe is traditionally made with pancetta but you can use bacon rashers, a fatty type like streaky bacon is best.

My Carbonara pasta recipe does not stick to the traditional rules.

I have added a twist by suggesting adding a vegetable like broccoli. You can perhaps use sugar snap peas.

An Italian Carbonara pasta recipe traditionally does not add cream but in this recipe it is an optional extra that you can put in if you wish.

Enjoy making your Carbonara pasta.

Carbonara Pasta – Method & Instructions

Chop pancetta bacon up into small pieces

Fry pancetta or bacon using olive oil

While pancetta or bacon is frying, cook the tagliatelle, and cook the broccoli

Add garlic half way through cooking the bacon

Once bacon is nice and crispy turn off the heat before adding other ingredients

Whisk 2 eggs in a cup

Drain the broccoli

Add cooked tagliatelle to the pan along with one ladleful of pasta water

The pan should have been off the heat for a few minutes to cool down a little

Then add the whisked eggs and mix with pasta and bacon (if pan too hot the eggs may scramble a bit and not be a smooth consistency but that is ok as it does not affect the flavour, so don’t worry if that happens)

Add parsley

Add the cooked broccoli to the frying pan too (optional)

Season with salt & pepper

Add cream to the frying pan and mix everything (optional)

Dish it all on a plate and grate over some parmesan cheese and serve
