Pancetta And Goats Cheese Carbonara Recipes

CLASSIC CARBONARA WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, cream, and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Blend thoroughly, and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until al dente, or for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, then return it to the pot (off of the heat), and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet; add the onion and cook until transparent, about 8 minutes. Remove onion from the skillet; place in a bowl, and cover to keep warm.
• Using the same skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until browned, tossing with nutmeg. Drain on paper towels.
• Combine the pasta, onion, pancetta, pine nuts, salt, and pepper in the same large skillet over low heat. Slowly stir in the egg-cream mixture, tossing gently so the eggs don't scramble. Cook until just heated through. Remove from heat and toss with parsley and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions while you start the sauce.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil and pancetta. Cook until the pancetta gets brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cheese and some salt and pepper.
• When the spaghetti is done, drain it, reserving some of the cooking water, and add the pasta to the hot pancetta skillet. Toss to coat the pasta with the oil. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour over the egg mixture, tossing quickly so the eggs don't scramble. Add some of the hot cooking water to thin it out and form a sauce. Toss in the parsley. Serve immediately with some extra cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

CARAMELIZED ONION, PANCETTA AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• In 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon butter and the oil over medium heat until butter is melted. Cook onions in butter mixture 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft. Add pancetta; cook until crisp. Drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet; add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper with fork or wire whisk until well mixed; pour over pancetta mixture in hot skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup goat cheese over egg mixture. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 minutes or until eggs are thickened but still moist; remove from heat. Sprinkle remaining goat cheese and the Parmesan cheese over top of egg mixture.
• Set oven control to broil. Broil with top of skillet 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until eggs are set and top is just beginning to brown. To serve, cut into 8 wedges.

PANCETTA AND GOATS CHEESE CARBONARA

Steps:

• Cook your Spaghetti until al dente.
• Meanwhile brown the Pancetta in a chefs pan or small wok.
• While that's sizzling, mix the goats cheese with the egg and Olive Oil, then add the parsley and lots of fresh milled pepper.
• Turn the fire off under the Panctetta and once the Spaghetti are cooked transfer them into that pan. Don't worry about draining them in a colander. The cooking water, that is clinging to the pasta, will help to create the sauce.
• Then add the cheese and egg mixture and stir well.
• The heat from the pasta will cook the egg just enough to give the sauce a luscious consistency.
