Pasta Carbonara

Stefano Faita

You only need 4 ingredients to wow last minute dinner guests with this classic favourite. The rich, creamy sauce is made with a pancetta for a delicious smoky flavour.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound long pasta such bucatini, spaghetti or linguine

1/2 cup diced pancetta

6 egg yolks

1 whole egg

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

PREPARATION

Bring large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously. Add pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente.

While pasta is cooking, fry the pancetta in a small fry pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

In a large bowl, add egg yolks, whole egg and Parmesan cheese. Whisk to combine. Add cooked pancetta and season with lots of black pepper.

Drain the pasta. immediately add pasta to the egg mixture and toss. The residual heat of the pasta will thicken the egg mixture to create a rich creamy sauce. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Yield: 4 servings.

At least once a week, we take turns cooking something to sample. The boss brought in a book A Man, A Can, A Plan and suggested that we try something from it. So today we did:

Fried Bean Tomatoes

1 14 oz can original or barbecued Bush's baked beans
1 15 oz can Mexican style stewed tomatoes, with juice
1 7 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 cups instant minute rice
1 cup water

Dump all the ingredients into a non-stick skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

Per serving: 204 calories, 2 g fat (7% of calories), 0 g saturated fat, 6 g protein, 40 g carbohydrates, 5 g fiber, 464 mg sodium

We also decided that some browned up sausage or ground beef would taste good in this also.

Citrus-Marinated Roasted Chicken (Fine Cooking) (This needs to marinate for several hours!) If you're going to roast one chicken, why not roast two? That way, you have plenty of leftovers to use in new, delicious guises later in the week. This recipe uses a two-part roasting method: first, the chicken is roasted at a high temperature to brown the skin, and then at a lower temperature to gently cook the meat through. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 4-lb. whole chickens, each cut into 6 pieces (4 breasts with rib bones, 4 leg-thigh pieces, 4 wings) 4 large lemons 2 large oranges 8 medium cloves garlic, chopped 1 Tbs. dried oregano, crumbled 3 Tbs. soy sauce 1 Tbs. honey 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Pour the olive oil into a heavy-duty nonreactive roasting pan large enough to accommodate the chicken pieces in one layer. Arrange the chicken in the pan with the breasts in the center and the legs and wings around the edge. Cut 1 of the lemons into 6 wedges. Finely grate the zest from another lemon to yield 1 tsp. and then squeeze the remaining lemons to yield 2/3 cup juice; transfer the zest and juice to a small bowl. Cut 1 of the oranges into 8 wedges. Finely grate the zest from the remaining orange to yield 1 tsp., and then squeeze the orange to yield 1/2 cup juice; add to the bowl with the lemon juice and zest. Scatter the lemon and orange wedges around the chicken pieces, but don't put them on top of the chicken or they'll interfere with browning. Stir the garlic, oregano, soy sauce, honey, and pepper flakes into the citrus juice. Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken. Cover with plastic and refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 6 hours and up to 12 hours. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425F. Turn the chicken so all the pieces are skin side up. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 375F and continue to roast until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken and the lemon and orange wedges to a platter. Pour the pan juice into a fat separator and let sit until the fat rises to the top. Discard the excess fat and pour the juice into a 10-inch skillet. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced to 1-1/2 cups, about 10 minutes.

I love noodles in anything. It reminded me of a recipe I've made that has cottage cheese, garlic, cream cheese and parmesan. More like a kugel than a pudding. I need to get that recipe out!! My sis and BIL had dinner with friends the other night and for dessert they had coconut custard pie. It was made with buttermilk and sis said it was the best thing ever (and she isn't fond of coconut). I found this on line and have to make it--hopefully this weekend. Sure looks easy enough. BUTTERMILK COCONUT CUSTARD PIE 1 1/4 cups sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup butter , melted 3 eggs , beaten 1/2 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 1/2 ounces flaked coconut , divided 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell Combine the sugar and flour in a large bowl. Add melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and 2/3 of the coconut. Mix well. Pour mixture into shell. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until set.

Haven't tried this yet, but tonight's the night! I have another white chicken pizza recipe I haven't tried, so I may take things from both recipes and see what happens.

CHICKEN RANCH PIZZA (Fake Ginger)

1 pizza crust, homemade or store-bought

For the sauce:
2/3 cup Ranch dressing
2 cloves garlic, minced

For the toppings:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced thinly
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Preheat the oven to 425F. Butter or grease a 16-inch round pizza pan. Stretch pizza dough to fit pan. (I use a 10x15" sided cookie sheet.)

In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing and minced garlic. Spread the sauce mixture over the crust.
In a medium bowl, toss together the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Spread about half of the cheese mixture over the sauce.

Evenly spread the chicken, tomatoes, and green onions over the pizza. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes. Check pizza after 10 minutes, and continue to check every few minutes until top is browned and cheese is bubbly. Remove pizza from oven, allow to cool slightly, and slice.
