Halal Carbonara

Halal Carbonara is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dish, featuring creamy sauce, savory halal turkey bacon, and al dente pasta. It's a quick and satisfying meal that brings a rich blend of flavors to your table.

Ingredients

• Spaghetti - 200 grams
• Halal turkey bacon - 100 grams, diced
• Egg yolks - 2 large
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced halal turkey bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, grated Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the turkey bacon and garlic.
6. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the hot pasta, tossing quickly to combine and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
