Ingredients

Carbonara

125 g Bacon in Thin Slices
250 ml Cooking cream
½ tsp Coarse salt
½ tsp Freshly pepper
2 Eggs
175 g Grated cheese

Tomato Salad

550 g Tomatoes in Slices
1 Small white onion in Thin Rings
2 tbsp Fresh oregano
1 pinch Coarse salt
1 pinch Freshly pepper

Spaghetti

3 litres Water
1 tbsp Coarse salt
400 g Dried White pasta (such as spaghetti)

Instructions

Step 1

Put the bacon slices in a cold pan and fry them - first for 2 minutes on a high heat and then with a moderate heat until golden and crispy. Let the bacon drip onto a paper towel and then cut the crisp bacon into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Wipe the pan off. Add cream, salt and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.

Step 3

Mix the eggs and 75 g of the cheese together in a bowl.

Step 4

Mix tomatoes, onions and oregano together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Whilst boiling the water, add salt to a large, thick-based pan. Cook the spaghetti for 8-10 minutes until it is tender without being soft.

Step 6

Drain the spaghetti into a colander and then return it to the pan. First pour in the hot cream and then bacon and egg cheese mixture into the spaghetti. Taste.
