Pasta Carbonara
Pasta Carbonara
Gluten free, dairy free Carbonara is a dish I often look longingly at when we are in Italian Restaurants. I hadn’t appreciated how simple it was to create at home until a friend shared this recipe with me. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Gluten free pasta for 4 people
1 cup of lardons, chopped pancetta or bacon pieces
Olive oil (optional)
1 garlic clove minced
Salt and pepper
4 eggs lightly beaten
Grated Vegan Cheese
Herbs.
Method:
In a large saucepan cook the pasta following the instructions on the packet.
In a large frying pan saute the bacon until golden. Use olive oil if you wish but I find the bacon has enough fat in it to cook itself. Add the garlic and cook on a low heat for another minute.
Beat the eggs in a bowl.
When the pasta is cooked take 2 tablespoons of water and put in with the eggs. Drain the pasta and tip into the egg mixture and stir.
Take the bacon from the pan and tip into the pasta mixture and stir until mixed through.
Serve straight away and garnish with grated vegan cheese and herbs as you desire. I also serve this dish with cherry tomatoes on the side.
Additional Notes:
Change the taste of this dish by adding different herbs.
Try adding pine nuts to the final dish.
Equipment Used:
