Fettucini Carbonara

I’d say Fettucini Carbonara is one of those classic flavours but I love it as its so quick to make and a nice and cheap weekday family meal.

Ingredients:

500g fettuccini pasta
250g pasture fed bacon, thinly sliced
300g mushrooms, sliced
120g spring onions (save a couple of sprigs for serving)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup Parmesan, grated
360ml coconut milk
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup, cornflour
1 cup spinach leaves
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Cook pasta according to instructions.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a frypan and add bacon and cook until crispy. Add mushrooms, spring onions and garlic and saute until onions are soft. Set aside.
Mix 3/4 cup Parmesan with coconut milk in a jug.
Drain pasta once cooked and return to saucepan. Add beaten egg and mix, then add coconut milk mixture and mix until all combined.
Sprinkle cornflour over pasta and stir over low heat until it starts to thicken. Add in bacon mixture and spinach and stir gently.
Serve with remaining Parmesan and spring onions sprinkled on top.

The kids are going to want you to serve this with some crispy garlic bread but I suggest adding a side of green beans. Even if they eat them with their fingers!
