Bonus point for it being very quick! Just sublime. The recipe is clear and straight-forward, the result is exquisite and the sauce was extremely creamy. Surely isn't your healthy 5-a-day recipe, but it's comfort food at its best, which I loved. I was really pleased to serve them a veggie meal they thouroughly enjoyed, especially when they asked for more. What’s the substitute for eggs ?Īh, yes! Finally a recipe where my very meat-eater family didn't go "eh, lacks meat". The recipe looks very simple and appetizing. This one is going in the recipe folder for sure.įinally a recipe where my eggs didn't scramble! was super delicious We didn't have any asparagus so we substituted broccoli and it worked out great. ![]() I love a good Carbonara, and this recipe is a great way to get the richness without the meat. Now just need a recipe for all these egg whites! It made a big difference and upped the dish from good to great. I highly recommend serving each individual portion with its own egg yolk on top and a light sprinkling of the smoked paprika, along with extra parm and pepper. Very good substitute and similar to an authentic carbonara without the pork. Without the olives it didn't have that salty kick. I added kalamata Olives and used peas instead of the asparagus. I used bucatini and peas, and I added basil and lemon juice at the very end. I will try again WITHOUT generously salting the pasta water.ĭelicious! The smoked paprika is a must. Since the water is later used to make the sauce, it can very easily result in an overly salty carbonara. Good recipe overall, though I would caution against “generously” salting the boiling pasta water. Mise en place was key to making this a quick and easy dish. I added Beyond Meat Hot Italian sausage for the meaty texture/protein, which I sliced and sautéed before the garlic. Will make again!ĭelicious! Was my first time having and making carbonara of any sort. Used the crispy garlic on top, which added a nice bacon-like texture plus amped the flavor (we love garlic in our house). ![]() Subbed peas for the asparagus as all I had in the house. An all around hit at our house!Īmazing, amazing! I only had 2 medium eggs, so used both including the whites - I have done this for other carbonara recipes and this works well. It probably would have been better had I been able to cook it with the red pepper flakes. Also used leftover steamed broccoli and waited until I plated before adding red pepper flakes to the adults dishes. Great dish! Even the 4 year old, who normally exists off of air and water, liked it! I can’t do dairy so I used Trader Joe’s vegan Parmesan and it worked well. Step 5ĭivide pasta among shallow bowls and top with more Parmesan and a few grinds of pepper. (This might be easier on your hands if you use 2 wooden spoons, as though you were tossing a salad, rather than trying to do it with 1 hand and a pair of tongs.) Add more reserved pasta cooking liquid if needed to loosen. ![]() Cook, tossing constantly and reducing heat as needed to keep mixture below a simmer, until cheese is melted and liquid thickens enough to coat pasta in a glossy, silky sauce, about 5 minutes. Tossing constantly, add 1 cup pasta cooking liquid, followed by reserved yolk mixture, then ¾ cup Parmesan. ![]() Set back over medium heat and toss to coat. Step 4ĭrain pasta and asparagus, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid transfer pasta and asparagus to pot with reserved garlic oil. Scoop out 1 cup cooking liquid from pasta and, whisking constantly, gradually add to egg yolks to temper. Remove from heat and stir in paprika set aside. Cook, stirring often, until garlic is light golden, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, combine garlic and oil in a medium Dutch oven or other high-sided pot and set over medium heat season very generously with pepper. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling generously salted water, stirring occasionally and adding asparagus when pasta has 1 minute left to go, until pasta is very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
