The Ingredients You’ll Need
For this recipe, you’ll want around 450 grams of your pasta of choice, as well as two eggs, four finely chopped garlic cloves, two tablespoons of olive oil, and 110 grams of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. A little bit of black pepper, salt, and parsley also wouldn’t go amiss for some seasoning.
The Cooking Portion
After boiling a pot of water, add some salt and cook the pasta until its al dente. Once that’s done, put the pasta in a bowl to the side and focus on the eggs and parmesan. Beat these together until they’re thoroughly mixed and leave them in another bowl.
Adding Everything Together
Focusing again on the pasta, add in the chopped garlic and olive oil, as well as the egg and parmesan mix. You’ll want to stir this all together quickly, keeping the pace up until the eggs begin to thicken. Once they’ve turned opaque, pour in a little bit of water just to thin out the mixture slightly. Then, serve the pasta in a bowl and season the meal with your pepper, parsley, and maybe even some more parmesan. Go ahead and treat yourself.
This vegetarian take on carbonara is pretty much a glorified mac and cheese, hence why it’s so easy to make. It should only take you around 20 minutes to cook, and with this amount of ingredients, you’ll be able to serve roughly four people. It’s a great meal choice for a small dinner party, and regardless of whether the guests are vegetarian or not, everyone should find the dish delicious.
