Carbonara

Preparation time: Less than 10 minutes

Cooking time: About 10 minutes

Serves: 1 or 2 people

Beautiful rich and creamy carbonara with a wonderful mix of vegetables and meat, not forgetting the amazing Italian tagliatelle.



Ingredients

4 mushrooms
Can of sweetcorn
2 spring onions
2 slices of ham
4 nests of tagliatelle
Tub of philadelphia
Flora cuisine
Salt

Method:

1. Chop your mushrooms into quarters, slice your spring onions into small chunks and cut your ham into thin slices. Also drain your sweetcorn over the sink.

2. Boil your kettle and add your tagliatelle nests to a saucepan. Put your saucepan onto a medium heat and pour your hot water in just to cover the pasta.

3. Add a small amount of flora cuisine into a medium size frying pan and on a medium heat add your mushrooms in and stir until they have darkened in colour. Once your mushrooms are fried add your spring onions, ham and sweetcorn and your philadelphia.

4. Stir in your philadelphia and mix with veg and meat until everything is covered in it. Turn it down to a low heat.

5. Keep checking your pasta and add 2 turns/pinches of salt. TIP: A way to know if the pasta is cooked is to carefully using a spoon or a fork pick a piece of pasta up and try it. If it is soft and not chewy or hard then your pasta is done.

6. When your pasta is done, turn of the heat and drain it over the sink with a sieve or a colander. TIP: Run cold water on your pasta so it stops itself from cooking.

7. Give your sauce one last stir and turn of the heat. Add your pasta into the pan and give it a good stir until the pasta is covered in the sauce.

8. When you have done that you can pour your carbonara into your bowl and eat away!

There you go, a very easy carbonara meal made in 10-15 minutes!
