Halal carbonara pasta

Ingredients

• pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)400 g
• halal bacon (or smoked chicken)200 g
• eggs4
• grated parmesan100 g
• heavy cream200 ml
• garlic2 cloves
• salt1 pinch
• black pepper1 pinch
• fresh parsley (optional)a few sprigs

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the pasta al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water, according to the package instructions. Drain and reserve a little pasta water.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a pan, sauté the halal bacon with minced garlic over medium heat until golden and crispy. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   In a bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper until you get a homogeneous sauce.

4. 4

   Add the hot pasta to the pan with the bacon, then pour the egg sauce over it. Mix quickly off the heat so that the sauce coats the pasta without cooking the eggs (the residual heat is enough).

5. 5

   If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to thin it out. Serve immediately, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley.
