Pasta Carbonara

This famous Italian dish is quick to make, and always tastes really good.

I adapted this little person recipe from my

"much complimented" big person carbonara.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4 to 5 little people)

250g Spaghetti or any pasta

200g Short Cut Bacon, diced

Millie mixing at Step 3

METHOD

Step 1: Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.

Step 2: Meanwhile, place the bacon in a non stick fry pan and cook over a high heat until it becomes slightly crispy.

Step 3: Mix together the egg yolks, cream and parmesan in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, if you choose.

Step 4: Drain the pasta once cooked, return to the saucepan it was cooked in. Add the cooked bacon, and the egg mixture. Mix until well combined. (The heat from the pasta and the saucepan will cook the egg yolks in a few seconds.)

Serve immediately.
