A simple Carbonara recipe for students
Ingredients:
- Spaghetti
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Mushrooms
- 1 egg yolk
- 50g grated Parmesan
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Herbs for garnish
- Focaccia bread (for serving)
Method:
- Start by boiling spaghetti in a large pan of salted water until it reaches that perfect al dente texture. Meanwhile, in a spacious frying pan, sauté one diced onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until it turns a golden hue. Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry until they become tender, releasing their savoury aroma into the kitchen.
- In a separate bowl, whip up a creamy paste by mixing 1 egg yolk, 50g of grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. This simple yet decadent concoction will be the star of your Carbonara. Once the spaghetti is cooked, combine it with the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Now, the pièce de résistance: stir in the luscious egg yolk mixture, coating the pasta and mushrooms in a velvety embrace of flavour.
To finish
To elevate your Mushroom Carbonara experience, serve it with a sprinkle of your favourite herbs and a side of warm Focaccia bread. The herby notes from the Focaccia complement the creamy pasta perfectly, creating a balanced and mouthwatering combination. The result is a dish that’s not only easy to make but also chef’s kiss-worthy!
Whether you’re a student on a budget or simply in the mood for a quick and tasty meal, Mushroom Carbonara is a winning choice. Embrace the simplicity of this Italian classic, and treat your taste buds to a symphony of flavours that will leave you coming back for more. Buon appetito!
