A Delicious Carbonara for moms on a tight budget

A delicious carbonara for this tough time...


The holidays are fast approaching and it really seems inevitable at this part of the year not to spend our hard earned money so fast we'll just realize that all of it are spent already. So starting today , I'll try to find ways to help everyone to have a happy holiday without spending all their bonuses and ending up broke in January.

Cheese Carbonara

Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
200 grams of ham
3 eggs (beaten)
3 tbsp evaporated milk
1 tbsp thyme (dried)
300 g spaghetti (dried)
90 g cheddar cheese (grated)
Salt and pepper

Procedure:
1. Boil pasta until al dente.
2. Heat the oil and butter in a frying fan until the mixture is just beginning to foam.
3. Add the bacon and fry it until golden brown.
4. Ass 2/3 of the cheese.
5. Mix together the eggs , milk and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the frying fan with the egg mixture for 30 seconds or until the eggs is beginning to cook and set. Do not overcook the egg.
7. Serve the pasta. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.


For a quick cook, (like when a visitor suddenly appear in you doorstep and you don't know what to serve) use a quick cooking spaghetti. They have holes on the middle which makes it better because the sauce is more absorbed and they you'll have pasta al dente for 4 minutes.
