I figured buying fresh pasta over standard dried ones is way better; the pasta itself is yummier and even easier to prepare. Takes only 5 minutes or less to cook. Buying bottled carbonara sauce instead of preparing everything from scratch also saves time. I usually buy this creamy Italian-style brand with bacon, fresh cream and eggs. All you need to do is enhance it a bit as I do with more bacon, Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs. YUM!
Ingredients:
400g Fresh fettuccine tricolor, cooked in boiling water until aldente
A bottle of Leggos chunky carbonara sauce (about 500g)
Chopped garlic
Diced onion
Sliced bacon
Sliced button mushrooms
Italian herbs (oregano, basil & parsley)
Parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Fry garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add bacon and saute for about 3 minutes. Add onions and mushrooms; season with pepper and Italian herbs and cook for another 2 minutes. Add carbonara sauce, stir in Parmesan cheese and cook over medium heat for about a minute. Serve the sauce over cooked pasta. Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs.

Oh boy, this one looks palatably gorgeous for the tastebuds. I am not a fan of carbonaras yet upon seeing this, feels like I need to try it out sometimes.
Great choice of theme from Futurosity, been trying to tweak it on my blog for weeks but the sidebar doesn’t fit the extras on my previous.
**browsing over at Sha.

Hi K!
I quite like this theme mainly because of the homepage. If i can make it, i’d like the entry page to be a bit wider. But i like it nevertheless…

my, i can have this any day! so rich and delish… and i couldn’t agree with you more on bottled sauces, they’re my hero for those night when I’m tired and don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
