RECIPE
Serves 4
8 rashes of bacon, chopped
400g fettuccine
Olive oil
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh cream
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
Salt & pepper
Add the bacon in a hot non-stick frying pan and fry until bacon is crispy. If your pan is not non-stick, add a little olive oil. Approx 5-6mins before it turns crispy. Add parsley, chives and shallots, a little salt (bacon can give out a salty flavour) and pepper. Combine well.
Meanwhile, boil water to cook the fettuccine. Add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil in the water. Cook according to package. Drain.
Add pasta to a dish, add the egg yolk and combine well. Add the parmesan, fresh cream and combine well. Add the bacon mixture, mix and its ready to serve.
