Bacon Carbonara


​Most of the time I am super organised when it comes to food preparation and planning. But there are times when it's just not possible and on these nights I like a recipe that takes minimal time and effort to throw together. Carbonara is my easy nights meal. Any pasta dish is great served with a side salad and some crusty garlic bread. Carbs, carbs and more carbs in our house! Fill up those bottomless pits!
Ingredients Required:
400g fettucine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
6 bacon rashers
4 spring onions
300ml cream
3 eggs
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Dice bacon and slice spring onions in 1cm thickness.
