And I tried again...

I remember there was this one time that I tried to make Carbonara Pasta but failed miserably. This time I tried again and of course with hubs helping;

The ingredients (serves two person):
200gm of Spaghetti
1 whole garlic
1 Yellow Onion
1 ½ cup cream
Ingredients of your desire choice of quantity:
White Mushrooms
Sausages
Bacon (you can replace this with ham or do without)

Ingredients are to be cut to desire size. Garlic and yellow onions are to be diced.

I begin with putting in some butter to a ready hot frying pan and another pot of boiling water to cook the pasta make sure to add a pinch of salt to have the water boil faster.

That is to fry the bacons to brown, to be crispy.

Remove the bacon after reaching desire taste, throw in the garlic and yellow onions to fry.

By now the water should be boiled, put in the pasta to be cook.

Then add in the mushrooms with the frying garlic and onions.

Put in the sausages when the mushrooms are slightly browned.

Pour the cream in gradually and stir it.

Cook it some, boil it some and it should look about like this.



Add some grinded peppercorns for taste.

Pasta should be cooked by now.

Drain the water out of the pasta and pour on the plate with some butter for taste.

The sauce is ready to b pour onto the pasta as well.

Pasta with Cream Sauce.

Topped with bacon.

Oh this was a success. Hubs and I enjoyed it and will cook it again soon.

So you going to try your own carbonara?

Suituapui

Failed Carbonara Chef

Instead of blogging about my Beef session in Singapore, I would like to share my experience of me cooking Angel Hair Carbonara for the very first time. Those who know me well enough knows I dislike cooking and for those who don’t, well now you know haha.

I was eating Fettuccini Carbonara for lunch one day and was watching how this person was cooking it. So I was thinking “Hey that is easy! I can try it myself.” Was in Carrefour with my family on Saturday evening, since I was there, I bought Cream – Payson Breton Cream.

Sunday came;
Ingredients set out to be cooked.Here we have the Egg, Cream in the box still, Angel Hair in the Pot and Sausages.

Not to forget:Onion and Garlic diced, Salt, Parmesan Cheese (I don’t have a lot of this sadly), of course some Olive Oil (I had to use Corn Oil because I ran out of Olive Oil, Butter is even better if you have salted types) and the rest was shown before that bowl is the cream and egg blended in.

I would have taken the process of the whole cooking, but I forgot where I left my camera phone haha. But being the first time, I was in such a panicky feeling I would have forgotten anyway if I had my camera phone nearby anyway haha.

The outcome of me cooking Carbonara for the time:Looks presentable, but I think I cooked the Angel Hair too long haha. It felt soggy and note to self, no egg in cream next time, made the whole dish tasted flaky and too creamy and no using Angel Hair; it didn't taste as good as normal Spaghetti (that or it is just me :P). I also forgot to add some salted butter to the Angel Hair before drowning it in the sauce haha. I sure failed big time! Next time, I am going to try with bacon instead of sausages or maybe both.
