Allora…

Ok. So last night I tried to make Pasta Carbonara…or a form of it, which I have never made before. Typically that has pasta, eggs, milk, cheese, and pancetta/some kind of glorious pork fat. Since it was my first time around the Carbonara Block, I consulted my Giada cookbook quickly enough to see “Whisk egg and cream…blah blah blah” and “return drained pasta to pan and add cream mixture”. Well I probably should have read the rest of the recipe. However, what came out of it was actually quite good. really good actually. Would be some great hangover food.

After cooking the fettucine I returned the pasta to the pan, and added 2 eggs and skim milk which i had whisked together. My mistake was that even though the burner was off, the pan was still way too hot for the eggs. It ended up scrambling the eggs. Oh well. I added lots of cracked black pepper (in fact my grinder broke and dumped a whole butt load onto the pasta- nothing went right on Wednesday) crushed red pepper and parmigiano reggiano and salt. It was great.

this looks totally gross, but believe me. it’s no stranger than lo mein or fried rice with scrambled eggs in it.
