Spicy Carbonara
Ingredients
500g Dried Spaghetti, Fettucini or similar pasta
3 good quality spicy meat sausages
2 cloves garlic crushed
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼-½ cup pasta cooking water
Several handfuls fresh chopped parsley
Method
Cook pasta according to packet directions. While pasta is cooking you can make the sauce.
Heat a medium saucepan or frying pan and squeeze the sausage meat from the sausage casings. Discard the casings and fry the sausage meat crumbling it as it cooks. Add the crushed garlic and when soft set the pan aside.
Beat eggs and egg yolks together and stir in parmesan cheese. When pasta is cooked, drain, reserving ½ cup of the pasta cooking water.
Pour drained pasta into the pan with cooked sausage or bacon. Add the egg mixture and a little of the hot pasta water to create a creamy sauce. Stir gently until the pasta is coated, taking care not to scramble the eggs.
Stir in the chopped parsley and serve.
