Easy Bitsy Carbonara

Also, another recipe shared around in Facebook...

with just few ingredients:-

1 tbsp Olive Oil

2 cloves of garlic

200g spaghetti

Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

Ham/Bacon

 Place the spaghetti into a pot of boiling water with salt and some olive oil in it (so that they won't be sticking together)

Next, lightly whisk the eggs and add the Parmesan cheese in it and mix well & Set a side

*should have bought finer Parmesan cheese powder for creamier texture*

Stir fry the garlic until they are slightly brownish

It would be BEST if you use bacon for this dish...

but since I don't have...I used  just ham and German ham slice...

when the pasta is done, drained well and add into the pan, and lastly, pour in the cheese&eggs mixture and mix well for about 1 minute!

Whole process just takes less than 15 minutes!

No worries, it's moist and not dry as you see the pic XD

remember to sprinkle some black pepper or parsley/basil too!

Linguine Aglio Olio with bacon & mushrooms

I have really no sense in cooking!

I've seen recipes and videos on how to cook Aglio Olio, but still failed for twice...

First time too dry and bland -.-

Second time too salty!

And finally the third time is quite a success ones!

*maybe I should thank the bacon..haha*

Here are the ingredients I used for 3 portions:-

Linguine 300g

White Button Mushrooms 8pcs

Bacon streaks

Basil leaves

Garlic

Dried Basil/Parsley

Black pepper

Chilli flakes

Salt

Olive Oil 4tbsp

VCO 2tbsp

*I roughly use 3 tbsp of oil for 100g portion*

First of all, heat up the pan and pan fry the bacon without oil...

and while frying it, boil a pot of water with salt and some oil to cook the linguine until the texture & saltiness you like and get it drained & set aside by then.

When the bacon is turning brown, turn off the stove and set it aside.

But still, remaining the bacon fats in pan!

*p/s: why lah bacon shrink? T__T*

Bring in the oil and pan fry the garlic in medium fire until it turned slightly brownish

Then add in the chopped mushrooms and cook until they released the liquid 

*until they shrink, literally*

Then add in the fresh basil leaves and a pinch of salt

and add in the cooked bacon, and let them stay in the pan for like 2 mins in medium low fire then turn it off~

Finally, add in the linguine and mix well together with chilli flakes, parseley/basil, and black pepper

and TADAAAAAAA
