Tagliatelle Carbonara

One of the things on my 'to do list' is to cook some different meals for the family and try some new recipes. 

 

Last night I made this, a recipe I have made before but not for a long time. It is a very simple, fast and economical meal. 

 

 

Quick Tagliatelle Carbonara - Serves 4 - 5

 

Ingredients

Tagliatelle - I used one packet of fresh tag but you can use dried or even make your own.

100g grated white cheddar

250g pack rindless streaky bacon, cut into  chuncks

4 eggs

4 tblsps low fat double cream

garlic, 1 glove, chopped very finely

salt and black pepper

 

Instructions

 

Cook pasta in salted boiling water

meanwhile,

fry the bacon for five minutes until browned and then add garlic, fry for another few minutes and set aside.

In a small bowl combine the cheese, cream and eggs and mix together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste

Drain pasta and return to pan, add the bacon, mix and then add the cheese mixture, mix well over a very low heat for a couple of minutes.

Serve (optional - sprinkle on a little parmesan or black pepper)

 

It's very tasty - we had salad and a bit of garlic bread with it. Goes very well with a nice glass of wine! I must make it more often.  My son also ate the leftover portion for his lunch today.
