I have made this recipe so many times, I have lost count. I first got my hands on this recipe via Lyndon's mother. I am unsure where she got this recipe from but let me tell you that it is very cheap and very easy to make. I love that. I used Lasagnette pasta, but usually use fettuccine...Ingredients
2 tbs butter
1 onion, finely chopped
3 rashes bacon, finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
300 mls pouring cream
3 tbs finely grated Parmesan
500g pasta, cooked
Method
Melt butter in a non-stick frying pan. Add onion and bacon and cook until onion is soft and bacon is cooked. Remove from heat. Beat together the egg, cream and Parmesan.
Drain cooked pasta and place into pan with the onion and bacon. Add the egg mixture. Gently toss pasta and sauce together over a low heat for 5 minutes, or until sauce is just thickening. Serve immediately.
Serves 4

If someone asked me what my favourite or Top Ten meals are...well, this would be on my list. It will never lose its appeal with me. And, I think it was one of the very first things I learnt to cook "properly" when I first moved out of home. Ohhh, the memories of cooking it at 3am after a big night out with my girlfriends.
My brother still credits me for teaching him 'how to' as well.
Kikimiss - I never started to make this (or actually really eat cabonara) until I met Lyndon. I was missing out for all those years... And oh so easy-peasy too.
