Healthy carbonara pasta

 HALTHY CARBONARA PASTA

 

Ingredients 

4                                Eggs

1 1\2 cups                Pecorino Regiano cheese (or parmesan)

3/4 cup                     Linguini (or spaghetti) 

About 3 cups           Shredded carrots 

1 can                         French cut string beans

1/2 cup                     Cooking water

8                                 Slices of cooked bacon

Directions 

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions, adding the water from the can of string beans to the regular water (there's vitamins and flavor in there)

2. Beat the eggs in a big bowl, add the cheese and mix to combine.

3. Two  minutes  before the pasta is cooked add the shredded carrots, one minutes later add the can string beans.

4. Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water.  Drain the pasta.

5. Get the bacon crispy a minute if you want then bring the pasta back in the pot.

6. If you can ask for help here because that's the important part.  Have someone dump the pasta in the egg mixture and stir vigorously right away with a wooden spoon to avoid the eggs to scramble (that wouldn't be a disaster, it would taste good but the texture wouldn't be creamy). (If you're alone you can temper the eggs with a little bit of cooking water).

7. Adjust the consistency of the sauce by using cooking water and/or cheese.

Bon appétit!
