If there is something I can eat in industrial quantities :)) without getting bored ... is Spaghetti Carbonara . It's my favorite pasta and for a good while now I'm still experimenting to find the best recipe. I do not know if I found it, but I will share it with you.
What we need:
1 pack of good quality spaghetti
200 ml double cream
300 gr bacon diced
200 gr Parmesan cheese
3 egg yokes
2 garlic cloves
a very small pinch of dried oregano
salt and white pepper to season
How we prepare:
We put in a pot to boil water for the spaghetti with a pinch of salt. When water boils put in the spaghetti, stir often so it does not catch to the bottom and cook as directed on package(usually 7-8 min for al dente pasta). In a frying pan without oil we put the diced bacon, 2 garlic cloves crushed only, which we will remove later, and the oregano. The reason for which we do not have oil in the pan is that the bacon will render its fat . Separately beat egg yolks with double cream and about 3/4 of grated Parmesan cheese (keep the rest for the end). When bacon is almost crispy fried (do not burn it shall become bitter), slowly turn the heat and pour the egg mixture, cream and cheese. Allow to simmer until sauce thickens slightly and egg mixture cooks. You should not boil this! Sour cream will curdle . Incorporate the spaghetti into sauce, mix well and season (attention the bacon and Parmesan contain salt!) Serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
