Cabonara rm18


Cost RM18 from italian restaurant around selangor

Carbonara by Michel Vuijlsteke.

Almost all the Italian restaurant in the world serves Cabonara.But how to make a Great Cabonara.all my friends are asking me kejie! How to cook a cabonara??
First the ingredient!!!!most important.

Image PreviewCream=where can i get cream?the supermarkets Here will have
(Qiant,mydin,carefour,cold storage,jusco,tesco)
Which area?....it is near the place where u get Yogurt,cheese,milk and vitagen.
the dairy product area..the display chiller...
Its written Whipping cream....Brand such as Arla and some other brand..it comes in
200-250ml....or 1 liter......the packing is paper card board.tetra.the 200ml can cook for
3-4 person..cost you 5-6ringgit for the cream.the whipping cream below is for desert,not for cooking sauce.Dont get the wrong 1 because they place together with the paper packaging once.
Image Preview
beef bacon
=most of the supermarkets will have...you can use pork or beef bacon....i prefer the
giant 'smoked breakfast beef bacon'....is at the chicken area..hanging on the chiller..
or the pork bacon....you can use chicken ham also...



Check out my recipe with so few ingredient....this actually Is a recipe from a restaurant call Pizza u--....located in taipan,damansara and few more place..u guest which one lah..dont want to expose the full name

Ingredient

whipping cream 200ml
1 onion(chop)
pork or beef bacon.few slice(cut into square dice)
peper and salt
maggi chicken stock. half cube
half teaspoon of Flour.(for making bread or cake,not corn or other flour)

spaghetti or other shape of pasta
whipping cream 4


Method.
1)boil the pasta,not until fully cooked..because is gona cooked in the sauce again..
2)stirfry the bacon or ham with some cooking oil until light brown add in onion,flour , chicken stock, some peper n salt stir well with low heat for 1 minute.
3)Pour in the cream,let it boil for 1-2 minute...you can see is getting thick when you boil.because the flour will thicken the sauce..finaly taste....
4)put in the pasta and mix well for 1 minute....another way is you can pour the sauce on top of the hot spaghetti...instead of mix the noodle in to the sauce..


Well....this is the standard recipe that most of the tasty restaurant will use...only cream..no milk or some stupid condensed milk...Get your cream and the bacon tomorrow from qiant or anywhere to start cooking....i guarantee you is the simplest and tasty recipe you can get...
