Recipes

Ingredients

• 2tbsp Olive oil
• Pack of bacon lardons
• x3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
• x3 eggs (beaten)
• Mature cheddar or Parmesan cheese (grate a bowl full)
• Spaghetti (enough for 4 people)
• Parsley (fresh or dried)
• Salt and Pepper

Method

• In a large pan boil some water for the spaghetti (add some salt too)
• Cook spaghetti for around 9 minutes
• Meanwhile heat the oil in a deep frying pan
• Fry the bacon lardons until browned
• Add the garlic, stirring all the time to avoid burning
• Take a ladle or two of the salted pasta water and pop in a cup to one side
• Beat the eggs in a jug and season lightly, adding half the grated cheese
• Drain the pasta and add to the bacon and garlic in the frying pan (make sure the hob is on low or off)
• Stir round ensuring the pasta is covered in the juicy bacon-garlic oil
• Add a few glugs of the water kept over
• Pour the beaten eggs over the pasta and stir (the hot frying pan should cook the egg mixture but be careful not to overcook or it will turn scrambled!)
• Keep stirring the pasta and egg mixture until saturated and egg has gone creamy colour
• Sprinkle parsley over the top with the rest of the cheese and serve immediately

Enjoy! X
