I forgot to post last night.

Carbonara


This is carbonara! I use Konjac pasta, because I’m low carbing it. This changes the recipe a bit.

1-Brown pancetta
2-add a little butter brown onion and garlic
3- deglaze with 1C chicken bone broth (usually this is down with pasta water)
4-add in the pasta and cook it down to where there’s very little juice left
5- remove from heat and add in egg and Parmesan cheese mixture
6- too with pancetta and a bit more cheese and fresh cracked black pepper
7-enjoy

Instead of using the pasta water. I use chicken bone broth to deglaze the pan, because I don’t have pasta water.

The eggs:

You beat 3 egg yolks and 1 whole egg. Mix it with 1/2C fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Fresh grated is a must. Fresh farm eggs add that beautiful golden color.

Yes! The eggs are raw! The residual heat of the pasta will cook the egg to be safe enough to eat. Don’t worry! You can make this too! Don’t add the egg while the pan is still in the heat. It will scramble your eggs and be gross!



DO NOT add cream!!!!!!!! Carbonara does not have cream!!! The egg and cheese will make this super creamy.

Do you like your Martha Stewart? I have been looking for an enamelware pan and Macy's has them on a pretty good sale.

What size do you have? I'm asking my kids for this for Christmas, I think.

I like it a good bit. That’s the small 3qt but I also have the 6 quart. I like the shape better than the Lodge, but I find myself using the Lodge more lately since it’s new.

A few chips on the handle of the small MS but the big one is still perfect. The Lodge is too new to tell.

Six month old girl. Holding her is my happy place. Everyday is something new and it’s so much fun! Good luck with your wee one!

Absolutely delicious, BUT… too hot for me. I shouldn’t have added the guajillo peppers. Maybe.


You think cutting the consume with some broth would help?

I want to try this one.

I cooked the ramen noodles in the consommé and they really soaked up some heat. I would cook them separately next time. Also, it might be me. My heat tolerance level seems to vary by the day!

For me, those chilis in adobo are really hot. Do you think maybe it was those?

I’ve used guajillo peppers both times I’ve done birria, and I soak them until soft and remove every seed I can find I’m too afraid of it being too hot for me.

I soaked them until soft and then removed nothing! And I do find the chipotles in adobo to be hot, so what the hell was I thinking?

guajillo Peppers are fairly mild and critical for this type of dish.

You got more heat from the sliced jalapeños and hot sauce than them.

If the heat is a problem, don’t use the canned chipotles, see if you can find (or make) just the adobo sauce.
