Okay. This was a pain to make. Kitchen Boy cooked the bacon, and I was trying to do everything else. NOT a good idea. I completely messed up the sauce on my first try with our last egg. DX I had to run to the store (literally) and buy some more. Try to get all the ingredients taken care of first, is my thought. Do the bacon cooking before hand. Then the other person can cook the noodles while you're dealing with the sauce? Or perhaps cook the noodles before, too and just let them sit in the water to keep them warm? Dunno.....
Fettuccine alla Carbonara
COOK and CUT up 6-8 slices of bacon
COOK and maybe DRAIN 6 oz dried fettuccine
COMBINE in a saucepan 1 beaten egg, 1 c. milk, and 2 tbsp. butter
COOK and STIR over med/low heat until it coats a spoon (about 6 mins)--DO NOT LET IT BOIL (this will cook the egg out of the milk and it will be lumpy and gross and not sauce at all!)
COMBINE sauce and pasta
STIR IN bacon, 1/2 c. grated cheese
Add parsley, pepper, garlic salt to taste/as needed
Once you get the hang of the rhythm of cooking this, it isn't very hard and it IS delicious. I have made it several times before with a different partner. This was my first time doing the directing/sauce making. How did he ever do the sauce so well?! Maybe someday I'll be able to, too. This would also taste good with chicken bits. >.>
