when baking, follow directions. when cooking, go by your own taste

a million times I mentioned before that my kids love carbonara. and this is my simple version. a quick and easy way to cook this famous recipe at home. certified Rachael Ray fanatic, a look+cook. a girl with looks and a good cook. beat that!

you need: 

garlic/small amt. of onion/butter/chicken knorr cubes/bacon/mushroom/milk/cream(optional)/flour (to slightly thicken the sauce)/egg/salt to taste or fish sauce

note:measurement of ingredients depending on the kilograms of your pasta.

procedure:

-fry the bacon until brown and crisp(no oil needed cause it will naturally bring out its fat)

-

-melt the butter. put in the onion first then the garlic,sautee for a while.
-add the chicken cube, let it melt.
-add the mushroom

-pour in the milk and the cream. mix it on one direction only to maintain the consistency of the milk and to prevent easy spoilage.

-beat the egg and gradually add to the sauce with constant stirring

-add flour to slightly thicken the sauce.

-let it simmer then add the fish sauce or salt to taste.

-place the cooked pasta on a plate

-pour the sauce on top of the pasta

-sprinkle the bacon bits

-add parsley for garnishing (optional)

don't forget the drinks. 
i made a concentrated grape juice for them.

there you have it! my simple and easy version of carbonara pasta.

for my dessert, who can resist those smiles?
