Carbonara Deep-Dish Pasta-Crusted Pan Pizza - Rachael Ray image

When I saw this recipe I thought you have GOT to be kidding me. Didn't see this exact one posted here, so I'm posting it for future reference. Would take me more like 45 minutes to make I'm sure. She says it serves 4, I think it would serve more like 8 if you add a side or salad. One day I might actually get up the nerve to make it. Edited to add amounts since she often uses a handful of this or that.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon salt
2 (9 ounce) packages fresh linguine
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 lb pancetta, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup cream
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  • Drain pasta, add to pan and toss. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and pepper.

PASTA CARBONARA (RACHAEL RAY)

I tried to search a bunch of different ways, and I could not find this recipe on here. I am surprised, as it was widely published and so easy. Great for company too. I will post it her way with a few of my notes. This is not health food, except for the soul. Read the recipe all the way through, as you need to cook things simultaneously and use pasta water. I serve this with a green salad and crusty bread with garlic butter.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb rigatoni pasta (I have also used penne)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 lb pancetta, chopped (my local store sells this already chopped in a pillow pack...a huge time saver!)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 egg yolks, large
1/2 cup grated romano cheese (I often double this)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
finely chopped flat leaf parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Put a large pot of water on to boil. Add a liberal amount of salt and the rigatoni. Cook to al dente (about 8 minutes).
  • Heat a (very!) large skillet over medium heat. Add EVOO and pancetta. Brown pancetta (2 minutes). Add red pepper flakes and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes more. Add wine and stir up all of the pan drippings.
  • Beat yolks, then add 1 large ladleful (about 1/2 C) of the pasta cooking water to them. This tempers the egg and keeps them from scrambling when added to the pasta. (I use a wire whisk to whisk the water in, and do this when the pasta is maybe 3/4 done).
  • Drain pasta well and add it directly to the skillet with pancetta and oil. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta. Toss rapidly to coat the pasta without cooking the egg.
  • Remove from heat and add a big handful of cheese (the 1/2 to 1 C), lots of pepper, and a little salt. Continue to toss until the pasta soaks up the egg mixture and thickens, 1-2 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and extra cheese, if desired.
