The last couple of weeks we have discussed pasta, the history of it, the different ways to cook it and most importantly, the best recipe to eat! My all-time favourite is spaghetti carbonara. Below is my recipe.

Bring heavily salted water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook it to al dente, which is crisp to the bite.

In a bowl, whisk together two whole eggs, salt, pepper and a cup of whipping cream.

In a pan, start frying chopped up bacon. When bacon is crispy add the cooked pasta and gently fry with the bacon.

Throw into the pasta half a teaspoon of crushed garlic and stir.

Turn the heat down and pour in egg and cream mixture.

Add 1/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Mix altogether until pasta is completely covered. Do not over cook the egg, you want a coated pasta not scrambled egg!

Put into large bowl, grind fresh black pepper over the top and sprinkle with more fresh parmesan.

If desired, a raw egg yolk can be stirred in after presentation.

Enjoy! Chef.
