Our first long weekend for the year and my "Ate" (big sister) Binky makes her trademark carbonara. After a mad rush into the pouring rain, she makes it home with ingredients for home-made pizza margherita as well! Her carbonara was made simply by toasting small strips of bacon, then tossing the al dente thin spaghetti in the bacon oil (not all of it), then mixing in the cream, egg, and cheese mixture. It's mixed in just right, and left on the stove just enough to cook the eggs through, but not to end up with scrambled eggs! Click on the following for a formal recipe of: Spaghetti Carbonara
Ate's pizza margherita was made with store bought thin crust pizza dough, which apparently, is quite a challenge to find. Today, the grocery had it, so it was a sign that pizza was to be made! The pizza dough was placed on a cookie sheet, baked halfway through, brushed with olive oil and then rubbed with cloves of garlic for flavor. Next, mozarella cheese was generously layered on the crust, then topped with tomato slices and basil leaves. Baked in the oven until the cheese melts and then, some parmesan cheese sprinkling on top!
Here's what my plate looked like before consumption. I had just enough time to take a picture. It was wiped clean in a matter of minutes. :)Great lunch, Ate! Thanks!
