Pasta Carbonara
Pick your favorite noodle. For this dish, we had linguini. The brand that was highly recommended by my cooking instructor at the Cordon Bleu in Florence is Martenelli (look for a yellow bag). This dish has made many a friend of mine ask me why I'm still single. It's delicious and only takes as long to prepare as cooking your pasta.400 grams pasta, cook aldente
1 Cup half & half
6 ounces of Parma prosciutto (sliced into small pieces)
2 ounces of butter
2 ounces of Parmesan Cheese
Pinch of Nutmeg
White Pepper
Salt
Slightly sauté the prosciutto in butter. Add the cream, let thicken for 5 minutes. Add nutmeg, salt & pepper. To keep the sauce the texture you want, you can add milk when it gets too thick. Keep the sauce moving the whole time you are heating it. Once the first big bubbles have appeared, it will thicken very quickly. You can turn off. Just toss the pasta into the sauce in a warm serving dish. Yum!
