directions

  • Place water in a large saucepan with a little oil and salt.
  • Bring to the boil and add fettucine.
  • Stir for a few minutes to prevent fettucine from sticking together.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan and gently cook onion, garlic and bacon on medium heat until onion becomes soft being careful not to burn.
  • In a bowl beat the eggs.
  • Pour in cream and whisk together.
  • Add salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Transfer cream mixture into saucepan (off the heat) with onion, garlic and bacon and stir quickly to combine.
  • When pasta is cooked, drain into a large serving bowl and stir in the carbonara sauce and combine well.
  • The heat of the pasta will cook the sauce and thicken.
  • Serve immediately with some extra parmesan cheese.

  1. Perfect recipe, yummy, quick and easy. I added mushrooms and some grated zucchini, because I love them. Would be great with asparagus too. Delicious, thanks Susie T

I live in Australia but I am Spanish. I am a dressmaker by trade but find myself enjoying cooking more these days. I have a great collection of recipes, some from magazines and some my own which I would love to publish one day. Having had gestational diabetes two times in my pregnancies, I have now become challenged to create a book on low GI foods and recipes. I just need to get down and do it. I have slowly posted recipes and still have many more various recipes to post. I hope you like what I have so far.
