MINT SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

February 16, 2015

Spaghetti carbonara always seemed to be a bit intimidating to me and I have no idea why...at all. This could not be any easier to make and is absolutely delicious. While some will cheat and put cream in the sauce, a true carbonara has only eggs as the sauce. I've added mint to this and it really works, but you can add any herbs, vegetables or meat that you like. Anything goes!

3 chicken breasts (cubed)
5 slices bacon
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small shallot (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cups white wine
1 tbsp grainy mustard
2 tbsp fresh mint
1 cup frozen peas (or fresh)
1 lemon (juice and zest)
3 eggs
1 package spaghetti (500g)
¼ cup fresh grated parmesan
salt and pepper

-gently sautee the bacon until 75% cooked in butter and olive oil and toss in the cubed chicken breast -when cooked add shallots and garlic -pour in some white wine and reduce until almost completely...
