pecorino romano cheese

Fettucine alfredo is a dish that can be caloric lead balloon but this version is easy, ready in 20 minutes, your family will love it, and no one will miss the empty calories. Rather than multiple sticks of butter, eggs, and heavy cream, there’s only one stick of butter and I used Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk. The recipe halves easily but I make it as written and freeze leftovers in single-serve portions and can pull them out and re-heat at a moment’s notice for impromptu school lunches or planned-leftover-dinners.

Serve immediately. Recipe is best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 4 months. Reheat very gently prior to serving leftovers so cheese doesn’t separate.

Bacon Carbonara

spaghetti

guanciale (or pancetta

eggs

Pecorino Romano cheese (freshly grated)

black pepper (to taste)

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.

Meanwhile, cut the guanciale into small pieces and fry in a hot pan until crispy.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix with the cheese and a generous amount of black pepper.

Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water.

Immediately toss the hot pasta with the cooked guanciale, then add the egg mixture and mix quickly. The heat of the pasta will cook the egg slightly and form a creamy sauce. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
