Carbonara Not Glue


Carbonara is a great pasta dish. "Carbona Not Glue" is a great Ramones song. Enjoy!

Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:
- 6 rashers bacon (sliced into 1.5cm wide strips)
- a shitload (like 10) button mushrooms (thickly sliced)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 150ml cream
- fettucine pasta
- parmesan or pecorino cheese (grated)
- salt + pepper

Method:
1. Fill a pot with water and salt it. Bring water to the boil and add pasta.
2. Fry the bacon and mushrooms in a pan over high heat. But fry them separately, dumbnuts. Put the fried bacon on some paper towels for a while.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the beaten eggs, cream, grated cheese and salt/pepper. Add the fried bacon to this bowl.
4. When the pasta’s al dente, remove it from the pot. Quickly pour out the water from the pot and then put the cooked pasta back into it. Pour your mushrooms and creamy/eggy/bacony goo on top of the pasta. Stir it around and give the whole thing a minute to caress the pot’s residual heat.
5. Put it on a plate and grate some more parmesan on top, you tightwad.
6. Listen to the Ramones’ “Carbona Not Glue” while you eat it. And drink some beer for Dee Dee.
