So i was being really lazy and the easiest thing to make is… *drum roll* PASTA! I made a simple pasta with a simple sauce. I like Farfalle pasta and i like cream sauce. I know most people like tomato pastas but i’m more of a cream sauce fan. Soooo what better than pasta with bacon!! I remember a random quote that said the way to save any dish is “add bacon, butter and a sauce”. Sooo bacon it is! This is really quick but it makes a lot of pasta which is good because i ate it for lunch and dinner two days straight.
A side note is that Carbonara is typically not a sauce dish. You want enough sauce to coat the pasta. But everyone likes it differently 
So here it is
Here are the simple ingredients for this recipe. This is once again another recipe from Jamie Oliver
- 1 lb Farfalle
- 1 Egg
- 10 Tablespoons of Heavy Cream (You may need more or less depending how much sauce you like)
- 10-12 Slices of Bacon
- 1 Cup of Frozen Peas
- 3 Sprigs of Fresh Mint
- 1 Cup of grated Parmesan Cheese (More cheese is always better
)
Sooo that seems really simple. It really is simple! So basically whisk together the cream and egg and season with salt and pepper and set aside. Get a big pot of salted water boiling and throw in your farfalle. Be sure to cook it based on the directions on the package because sometimes they cook differently. At the same time start cooking your bacon. You can cook it however you want but i fried it. You can bake it if you want. Either way i cooked it till it was crispy and golden brown. I then remove the bacon oil from the bacon because i didn’t feel like having a heart attack right there. Right before the farfalle is done add the peas to the pot so it can boil with the farfalle. You should taste the farfalle to know when it’s done rather than rely too much on the directed time. Once the farfalle is done strain the farfalle and peas. Mix the Bacon and Farfalle and Peas together. You don’t want to chill the farfalle or anything because you want the heat of the pasta to heat and thicken the sauce. Throw in the mint with the mix and toss around. Add the cream and egg mixture all around the mix and stir around. You should start to see the sauce becoming thicker as the egg is slowly getting cooked. Throw the cheese on top and BAM! You’re done! This should make 4 generous portions. I divided it all into nice little tupperware so i can microwave and eat it for the other times. Bon App!
