My Version Of A Carbonara

  1. Get a Pot of salted water on the boil.
  2. Add the Linguine to the boiling water and stir it around occasionally, get a cup, and scoop out some of the water. After approximately 10 minutes the pasta should be cooked (al dente), strain the pasta and set aside.
  3. Add the egg yolks, creme fraiche, black pepper and three quarters of the Parmesan cheese in a bowl and whisk them all together.
  4. Get a decent sized frying pan on medium heat and add a glug of olive oil. Start frying off the bacon and stir around occasionally until you get a slight brown colour but try not to make the bacon really crispy. Next add the garlic (be careful not to burn it) for about a minute.
  5. Add the cooked Linguine and parsley and toss/mix everything together, you may find that the pasta sticks together, if so add the water that you scooped out a bit a a time to get a nice silkiness and make sure the pasta gets heated up.
  6. Turn the heat off the leave for about 30 seconds-1 minute just to slightly cool down just to ensure the egg content in the sauce won't scramble. Add the sauce and use a pair of tongs to stir through. Make sure all the pasta is covered.
  7. Serve on a nice big plate or platter, top with the rest of the Parmensan cheese, a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of the black pepper. ENJOY.
