This is one of my favourite recipes because it is so easy and can be made in a low fat version (see my low-fat fettucine carbonara version recipe)

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 slices bacon, fat removed and chopped into chunks (the smokey variety is tastier)
600 ml light cream
4 eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, the shredded variety
1 teaspoon salt, I usually add a little more
pepper
500 g fettuccine pasta
1 teaspoon oil, for boiling pasta
1 teaspoon salt, for boiling pasta
parmesan cheese, extra

Steps:

  • Place water in a large saucepan with a little oil and salt.
  • Bring to the boil and add fettucine.
  • Stir for a few minutes to prevent fettucine from sticking together.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan and gently cook onion, garlic and bacon on medium heat until onion becomes soft being careful not to burn.
  • In a bowl beat the eggs.
  • Pour in cream and whisk together.
  • Add salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Transfer cream mixture into saucepan (off the heat) with onion, garlic and bacon and stir quickly to combine.
  • When pasta is cooked, drain into a large serving bowl and stir in the carbonara sauce and combine well.
  • The heat of the pasta will cook the sauce and thicken.
  • Serve immediately with some extra parmesan cheese.
