CREAMY CARBONARA...


There's nothing like decadent comfort food to make a day in a little sinful or to take your mind off issues. I like comfort food of the cheesy nature and Pasta Carbonara with double cream, ham, cheese, white wine...yes please!

Again, it really is a simple recipe (high calorie but worth every last one) and when you're tucking this away (and probably for the next hour or two afterwards) you are guaranteed to shelve your worries.

200grms Spaghetti/macaroni
Bacon
Boneless chicken breast
Spring onions
One medium onion
Mushrooms
Garlic
Green beans
Double/single cream cream (depending on how creamy you want it)
Half a cup White wine
2 table spoons of Worcestershire sauce
100grms Parmesan cheese
100grms Butter
2 Tablespoons Sunflower oil
Salt & Pepper
Parsley

Cook your pasta until it is half done (al dente), drain and set aside.
Crush or chop the garlic. Also chop your bacon, onions, spring onions, mushrooms, chicken breast and set aside.

Add your butter to the pot/pan and allow melt but don't allow to burn.
As all the butter melts down add some oil, this allows the butter cook the other ingredients without burning or browning the butter.
Add you garlic and chopped onions. As soon as you start to smell the garlic and the onions begin to soften, add all the other chopped ingredients, season and allow to cook.
After 5 minutes pour in your cream, white wine and worcestershire sauce sauce and green beans.
Reduce heat and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes till it reduces down to a nice creamy texture.
Grate in your cheese and add your cooked pasta into the pot.
Mix properly with a pair of tongs, 2 forks or gently with a cooking soon.
Cover pot for 2 minutes.
Serve and garnish with a few more shavings of grated cheese, chopped parsely and some black pepper.
Enjoy with a glass of white wine.

Cheers to good food!
