Carbonara ~ My way

Everyone got their own way of making carbonara, and probably that's the most common dish for pasta, since it is quick and easy.

Here's my way for that,

For 1

pasta- i would perfer penne cuz it absorb more juice. but it doesn''t matter if u prefer other kind of pasta.

1/4 to half a onion, diced, fry n add tiny bit of sugar, just to caramelize the onion, until transparent

Pancetta ham or bacon, i would prefer pancetta,(special kind of italian bacon), if not just go for streaky bacon.


just add the raw bacon into the pan with cooked onion, it will be less oily cuz the onion will absorb them.
add white wine while cooking as well, (i would perfer pinto girio).

%% step for adding mushroom
mushroom is yes or no in my carbonara, just randomly chop yr mushroom, probably into 1/4 size, chop it with the stalk attached. Olive oil in hot pan, mushroom in, fry until coloured, but dun overcook it(dun let the juice to come out cuz it will make yr sauce dark n watery).
%% end

the following steps all in LOW heat

reheat the bacon and onion (and mushroom) mixture, add cream (cream need to be in low heat for better control), add milk, for amount of cream and milk i would say 5 to 1 roughly, but don't need to be precise.
 
Drain yr pasta, dun drain all the water away, put it into yr milk cream mixture, slowly stir it, until the juice stick to the pasta, then turn the heat off, stir a raw egg yolk in, use the remaining heat to cook it.


Final touch, pamasan cheese and a few basil leaves.
