Easy Peasy Carbonara Tuesday

THE QUICKEST FANCIEST LUNCH:

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add any dry pasta that you please. Today I used fusilli.
2. Heat a lump of butter up in a small saucepan on medium high heat and add 1/4 onion, chopped finely.
3. You can add whatever you want in this step re:meat. I used a little left over ground beef, but you can keep it classic and go with some chopped up bacon or pancetta. Whatever you choose, fry it until it's golden and then reduce to low.
4. Whisk 2 egg yolks and a good splash of cream together, and by splash I mean about 1/2 cup.
5. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the onion mixture saucepan. Add the egg and cream, a good crack of pepper and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens a bit and gets nice and glossy. I garnished with some flat leaf parsley to be fancy.

YUM!
