Instructions
Step 1: Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. When it reaches a medium high heat, add the shallots and garlic and saut for a minute.
Ingredients:
- shallot
- garlic
- cooking oil
Equipment:
- frying pan
Step 2: Add the sprouts, cook until they are browned and become a little softer ( not too soft though, you dont want them to be mushy, but to retain a little bite). You can probably get going with cooking the pasta when the sprouts are nearly finished. Just follow the instructions on the packet for timings. The best way to cook pasta is to put it into a pan with plenty of boiling water and a good helping of salt.
Ingredients:
- sprouts
- pasta
- water
- salt
Equipment:
- frying pan
Step 3: When the sprouts are cooked, move them to the outside area of the pan and add the bacon to the centre, allowing it to cook for a couple of minutes, turning a couple of times.
Ingredients:
- sprouts
- bacon
Equipment:
- frying pan
Step 4: When the bacon is cooked, mix it through the sprouts and give a good grind of black pepper and a little salt. Careful with salt as the bacon and the parmesan will also add a salty flavour.
Ingredients:
- black pepper
- parmesan
- sprouts
- bacon
- salt
Step 5: When the pasta is ready, bring your two pans close together on the stove. Then, with tongs, grab the pasta and drag is swiftly into the pan with the sprouts. By doing this you take in some of the pasta water. This water helps bind and create your sauce. You dont need much, in this case probably about 2 tablespoons worth. This dragging technique should ensure that you have enough.
Ingredients:
- water
- sprouts
- pasta
- sauce
Equipment:
- stove
- tongs
- frying pan
Step 6: Turn the heat off under your sprouts and pasta.
Ingredients:
- sprouts
- pasta
Step 7: Add the egg (not directly on to the base of the pan but onto the pasta mixture) add the parmesan. Stir through quite quickly, this will create a creamy style sauce.
Ingredients:
- parmesan
- pasta
- sauce
- base
- egg
Equipment:
- frying pan
Step 8: Check for seasoning, and serve immediately with some extra parmesan sprinkled over the top if you wish.
Ingredients:
- seasoning
- parmesan
Step 9: This works well with all sorts of pasta. The only type that doesnt work so well for a carbonara style dish is whole meal or gluten free varieties. These pastas seem to lack the starchy constituent that gives your sauce that creamy texture.
Ingredients:
- pasta
- sauce
Step 10: Try using pecorino cheese instead of parmesan
Ingredients:
- pecorino
- parmesan
