[How to cook] Easy creamy pasta

Postby hekate on Wed Jul 14, 2010 4:28 pm

Creamy pasta

Ingredients
(serves 2)

6-8 rashers of short cut bacon
4-6 spring onions
½ capsicum
6 mushrooms
~150 ml cream
Pasta of your choice (I've used spirals - penne, fettuccine and elbows are good too)

Chop the bacon, spring onions, mushroom and capsicum.
Image

Boil the water for the pasta. Add pasta to boiling water, and cook according to instructions. Spiral pasta took 11 minutes.
Image

Heat pan, add a little oil and cook bacon, spring onions and capsicum until bacon cooks and veggies go a bit soft, then add mushrooms.
Image
Image

Add cream to pan, then add grated parmesan, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer lightly until sauce thickens a bit. If your pasta isn’t ready yet, turn down to low.

Image

Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to sauce. Mix until mixed.
Image

Enjoy!

Saboo: How dare you speak to me of The Crunch! You know nothing of The Crunch. You've never even been to The Crunch.
Naboo: I've been there once.
Saboo: Oh, a little day trip around The Crunch. We can all go as tourists.

Looks tasty! Im glad you didnt use light cream or (god forbid) condensed milk. People who fuck with carbonara and creamy pasta recipes like that should be banned from ever going in a kitchen.

Looks delicious Hekate, the photos are amazing and that place-mat is damn sexy.

I've always made a white sauce with butter, flour, milk and cheese in a separate pot which turns out freaking delicious but makes a hell of a mess and renders the pot uncleanable/unusable for a couple of days due to burn marks. I think I'll have to give this one a shot, cheers!

Added to the recipe book =)

Spoon and I tried using Baileys instead of milk in our white sauce 2 nights ago.. It turned out inedible. Yeah, there was no "cr" in there.

One ingredient to kill them all :(
