Pasta Carbonara With English Peas Food

ULTIMATE SPAGHETTI CARBONARA RECIPE

Steps:

• Put a large saucepan of water on to boil.
• Finely chop the 100g pancetta, having first removed any rind. Finely grate 50g pecorino cheese and 50g parmesan and mix them together.
• Beat the 3 large eggs in a medium bowl and season with a little freshly grated black pepper. Set everything aside.
• Add 1 tsp salt to the boiling water, add 350g spaghetti and when the water comes back to the boil, cook at a constant simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until al dente (just cooked).
• Squash 2 peeled plump garlic cloves with the blade of a knife, just to bruise it.
• While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the pancetta with the garlic. Drop 50g unsalted butter into a large frying pan or wok and, as soon as the butter has melted, tip in the pancetta and garlic.
• Leave to cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the pancetta is golden and crisp. The garlic has now imparted its flavour, so take it out with a slotted spoon and discard.
• Keep the heat under the pancetta on low. When the pasta is ready, lift it from the water with a pasta fork or tongs and put it in the frying pan with the pancetta. Don't worry if a little water drops in the pan as well (you want this to happen) and don't throw the pasta water away yet.
• Mix most of the cheese in with the eggs, keeping a small handful back for sprinkling over later.
• Take the pan of spaghetti and pancetta off the heat. Now quickly pour in the eggs and cheese. Using the tongs or a long fork, lift up the spaghetti so it mixes easily with the egg mixture, which thickens but doesn't scramble, and everything is coated.
• Add extra pasta cooking water to keep it saucy (several tablespoons should do it). You don't want it wet, just moist. Season with a little salt, if needed.
• Use a long-pronged fork to twist the pasta on to the serving plate or bowl. Serve immediately with a little sprinkling of the remaining cheese and a grating of black pepper. If the dish does get a little dry before serving, splash in some more hot pasta water and the glossy sauciness will be revived.

CARBONARA CLASSICA

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until tender-crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve the pan with the drippings.
• Separate 4 of the eggs and set the yolks aside. Discard the 4 whites. Crack the fifth egg and add it to the yolks.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 2/3 of the pancetta, the Parmigiano-Reggiano, black pepper and cayenne.
• Cook the pasta until al dente. Add the peas when the pasta is just about finished and strain both into the reserved pancetta drippings. Reserve about 3/4 cup pasta water to fortify the sauce.
• Add the egg mixture into the pasta and toss well with tongs for about 1 minute. Add the reserved pasta water to the bowl in 1/4 cup increments, combining and adding until desired sauce consistency is reached. Add the parsley and gently combine and place into a serving dish.
• Garnish with the reserved pancetta.

SWEET PEA PASTA CARBONARA

Steps:

• If using fresh English peas in the pod, shell them (you should get a little more than 1 cup.) Remove and discard the strings from the snow peas and cut them into slivers. Trim and thinly slice the spring onions; peel and thinly slice the garlic. Set all prepped vegetables aside.
• Peel the onion and cut it in half from stem to stem; trim off stem ends then slice very thinly. In a large skillet combine the onion, thyme and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bring to a sizzle, season with salt and pepper then reduce the heat to low and slowly caramelize until softened and deeply golden brown, about 20 minutes. While the onions cook, thinly slice the garlic and spring onions. Trim the strings and ends from the snow peas and sliver them lengthwise. Set aside.
• In a serving bowl whisk together the eggs and cream until fully blended, then stir in the two cheeses. Add ½ teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add two big handfuls of salt-you want the water to taste like the sea.
• When the onions are caramelized and golden, add the pasta to the boiling water and stir; bring back to the boil and cook according to the instructions on the box.
• While the pasta cooks, raise the heat under the caramelized onions and add the butter to the skillet. Stir in the sliced garlic and spring onions; sauté, stirring constantly, until fragrant and beginning to brown slightly. Add the slivered snow peas and shelled (or defrosted) peas and season with salt and pepper; sauté until just bright green, no more than 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Set aside.
• As soon as the pasta is al dente, reserve 1 cup cooking water in a measuring cup and drain the rest. Whisking constantly, dribble in half the cooking water into the egg- cheese mixture, then add the drained pasta and toss to combine. Add the peas and onions to the bowl along with another ¼ cup pasta water and continue to toss until the pasta and peas are fully coated and the sauce is very creamy. Add more cracked black pepper to taste, then serve immediately with extra Parmigiano grated over the top of each bowl.

Steps:

• Directions
• Bring 1 gallon of salted water to a boil. Place pasta in water and cook until al dente.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat cook pancetta until crisp. Add garlic and English peas and cook until peas begin to soften.
• Strain pasta, allow to drain a few seconds and then add directly to saute pan.
• Add lobster and heat for 30 seconds. Pull saute pan from heat and add eggs, toss gently to combine. You want the eggs to become the sauce not scrambled eggs.*
• Place saute pan back on heat and stir in half the Parmesan cheese.
• To serve, place pasta in large serving bowl and finish with other half of Parmesan cheese and cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
• *Chef's Tip: whisk 2 tablespoons hot pasta water into eggs to temper (warm) them before adding to saute pan. If they are warm they are less likely to "scramble " in the hot pan.

PASTA CARBONARA WITH ENGLISH PEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt until it tastes like the sea.
• Put the pancetta and a small glug of olive oil in a skillet or Dutch oven that's large enough to hold all the pasta. Cook until the pancetta is lightly browned but still slightly chewy, 9 to 12 minutes (or less if you're using thinly sliced pancetta). Season the pancetta very generously with pepper. Take the skillet off the heat, but don't drain anything-you'll use that fat!
• When the water is at a boil, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until almost al dente. When the pasta is almost ready, add the shelled peas to the pasta pot.
• Put the skillet back over medium heat and reheat the pancetta gently.
• With a ladle or a measuring cup, scoop out about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and peas. Whisk a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water into the fat and pancetta in the skillet, to make the bacon fat lighter and creamier by emulsifying it with the water. Pull the pan off the heat.
• Whisk some of that warm fat into the beaten egg to temper it (meaning to gently warm up the egg so that it doesn't scramble when you add it to the hot skillet), then whisk the egg into the skillet.
• Dump the pasta, peas, scallions, and pea tendrils (if using) into the skillet. Add both the cheeses and toss everything quickly and thoroughly to blend. Add a few more small splashes of the pasta water and keep tossing until the noodles are cloaked in a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or black pepper as needed. Serve right away. This dish does not wait.

PASTA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• While the pasta is cooking, fry the bacon until just barely crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Pour off all of the bacon grease, but don't clean the pan. Return the pan to the stove over medium-low heat and throw in the onions and garlic. Cook until golden brown. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix together eggs, Parmesan, cream, and salt and pepper until smooth.
• When the pasta is done, reserve a cup or two of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and place it in a bowl. While the pasta is still really hot, slowly drizzle in the egg mixture, stirring the pasta the whole time. The sauce will become thick and should coat the pasta. Splash in a little hot pasta water if needed for consistency.
• Halfway through, add the peas, bacon, and sauteed onion/garlic. Finish adding the sauce, stirring until it's all combined.
• Serve immediately with extra Parmesan. Delish!

PASTA CARBONARA WITH SWEET PEAS

• When the pasta is cooked, transfer the pasta with a slotted spoon or large sieve directly from the pasta pot to the pan with the bacon. Do not drain the pasta first; you want some of the pasta water in the dish. Add the peas to the hot pasta water to blanch.
• Turn off the fire under the pasta and bacon mixture and add the eggs, stirring to thoroughly coat each pasta tube with the egg. Take care not to allow the egg yolks to scramble at the bottom of the pan. Transfer the peas with the slotted spoon or sieve from the pasta water to the pan along with the black pepper and parmesan. Continue to stir. Add pasta water if it appears too dry. Stir until every pasta tube is well coated with the sauce.
• Serve with freshly grated parmesan and some sliced green onion on top.

• In a bowl whisk together the eggs and cheese.
• Cook your spaghetti, according to package instructions, in water salted with Sale Marino di Trapani (PGI Italian Sea Salt). When it is cooked to a perfect al dente use a heat-proof measuring cup to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
• Add the reserved oil back to your dutch oven and heat it over medium heat.
• Once the oil is warm add your cooked and drained pasta, then slowly pour the egg mixture over it stirring and turning the pasta to coat it. If it becomes a little dry add the pasta water, a small amount at a time, to loosen the pasta up.

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.") Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the garlic into the fat and saute for less than 1 minute to soften.
• Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.) Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency. Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Pass more cheese around the table.
