Cheesy-Pleasy Carbonara image

While attempting to make a carbonara with no eggs I found my sauce a little runny, adding cheese to the sauce made it perfect!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
½ (16 ounce) package bacon
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup sour cream
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup frozen peas
ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towel and chop into small pieces when cool enough to handle.
  • Drain bacon fat from the pan and discard. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and pour in chicken stock and sour cream. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined and melted. Season with pepper. Add cooked pasta and toss until covered in sauce. Mix in bacon pieces.
  • Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and more pepper, if desired.
