"The
Carbonara recipe, never had a written one........The gentleman,
Giorgio Angelucci, that we met in a tavern across the street from
the foot of the Spanish Steps in Rome, invited Ken and I to his
home for drinks and a visit with he and his Norwegian wife Asta.
We went, he was an artist, we bought 2 of his paintings and they
invited us to stay for dinner. While he cooked spaghetti Asta told
me how to make Carbonara so you'll have to just throw it together
like I have done. It always tastes slightly different but is always
great!"
For about 4 people:
1/2
lb bacon
1/2 c sweet onion
2-3 cloves garlic minced
spaghetti noodles
1 egg
1 c milk
dash salt
dash pepper
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
1/2 c grated parmesean cheese
1/2 pound of bacon, chopped into small pieces and brown it. Drain
the bacon and all but a tbsp. of the drippings. Into those drippings
sauté diced onion to your taste, I use about a 1/2 cup of
sweet onion, and garlic to taste, about 2-3 large cloves minced.
Meanwhile boil/cook the spaghetti noodles and drain. Whisk an egg
in a bowl with about a cup of milk and set aside. Put the drained
noodles in the skillet (low heat) with the onion and garlic, sprinkle
with salt, pepper, about a half cp. of shredded mozzarella, and
almost a 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Put the drained bacon
bits back in on top of all that and then pour the milk/egg mixture
over all. Toss it all together with 2 big forks till the egg mixture
is set and then Serve! It's yummy!
Good luck with it!
