Rachel Ray Carbonara Recipe: QUICK and delicious! (Helen here it is finally!)
This is one of those yummy and QUICK recipes that I make at home ALL the time because it's delicious and fast. I wrote the recipe as it is in her book and added my notes and substiutions.
I like it spicey but you can always lighten up on the red peper flakes if its too much. DH usually likes me to add even more than what's suggested.
Rachael's Carbonara Recipe
You Will Need
1 lb. rigatoni (I prefer Barilla whole wheat penne but pasta is pasta so you can use whatever you have on hand.)
1/4 cup EVOO*
1/4 lb. pancetta, chopped into small pieces (I substitute Jenni-O Turkey bacon cause it is super lean and yet sooo flavorful.)
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
5 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped (I mash up my garlic and use about 2x this amount-makes it more flavorful. Dh and I love garlic lol)
1/2 cup white wine
2 large egg yolks (I have started substituing one egg yolk for a little bit of heavy cream that I stir in at the very end-makes it creamier).
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus extra
Salt and pepper
A handful of parsley
What to Do
1. Cook pasta. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add EVOO and pancetta/turkey bacon. Brown 2 minutes or until a little crispy and good smelling!. Add red pepper flakes and garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add wine and stir up pan drippings.
2. Beat egg yolk(s), then add 1 large ladleful of pasta cooking water.
3. Drain pasta and add to skillet. Pour egg mixture on top. Toss rapidly to coat pasta without cooking the egg.
4. If using cream, this is a good point to toss it in. I usually just eyeball it-about 1/4 cup. Stir it all in and let it stand a min or two to heat up.
5. Remove pan from heat and add a big handful of cheese, salt and lots of pepper. Toss pasta until it soaks up egg mixture. Top with parsley and extra cheese.
Serves four.

Oh its sooo easy and sooo good. You can add chicken to it, or shrimp. I do if I am in the mood. But its great stand alone too. I don't like overly creamy carbonara and this is just creamy enough-you can take out the cream completely and still delicious.

You are not retarded; it's just an abbreviation Rachel Ray uses for Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Its sooo easy-you should try it. We usually serve it with a big spinach salad or a cesaer sald with a lower fat dressing and glasses of red wine. I'm not great with making whole menus lol.

DONT use cooking wine! i mean you can but its sooo much saltier. When it comes to cooking with wine, the rule of thumb is easy: "Do not cook with a wine you would not drink."
I buy my white wine from Costco-usually a zinfandel or a chardonnay. Cheap but drinkable. Cooking wines VERY high in sodium and this dish already has that going on with the bacon.

Oh good so you know. I did use cooking wince once before I sttarted subscribing to cooking magazines and watching the shows and it was LOUSY. You have to water it down which defeats the purpose. But any dry white wine will do.
