My First Carbonara





















Sounds pretty fancy doesn't it? Also creamy and buttery too right? Somehow NO! This is the lactose-intolerant-girl's creamy pasta recipe dream. We started with some pancetta and green onion - just as Rachel Ray recommends.

The sauce is amazing - lemon juice, egg yolks, olive oil, white wine and spices. It is quite rich and tasty but doesn't take much time to prepare.

It is tangy and creamy - also, since you add the hard cheese at the end, you can make pretend it is Alfredo sauce...

To finish off the dish, we added italian sausage and broccoli. It is truly necessary to eat 2 pork products in one meal sometimes. It makes sense that when you are making a sauce with egg yolks, you kind of need to add pancetta and sausage. Adding the broccoli must balance the fat content...I think!
