Ingredients
- pasta - double portion (chip pasta, as used in the recipe)
- olive oil - to taste (just a touch)
- bacon - to taste (strippy, to be cooked until crispy)
- black pepper - to taste
- garlic - to taste (sliced thinly)
- mushrooms - 3 (about three, not sliced too thinly)
- salt - to taste (a touch)
- red chili - 1 (one beautiful chili)
- cream fresh - to taste (be generous)
- egg - 1 (mixed with cheese)
- Grana Padano (or Parmesan) - to taste (grated inside the egg)
- peas - to taste (preferably frozen, as per Gordon)
- pasta water - as needed (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Boil pasta for 8 minutes or until cooked. Use a large pot to avoid overcrowding.
- Prepare Ingredients: In a pan, add a touch of olive oil and cook the bacon until crispy. Then, add black pepper, thinly sliced garlic, and mushrooms. Season with a touch of salt.
- Add Chili: Introduce a whole red chili to the pan for added heat.
- Incorporate Cream Fresh: Once the ingredients are sautéed, add cream fresh to the pan.
- Mix Egg and Cheese: In a separate bowl, mix an egg with grated Grana Padano or Parmesan cheese.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the peas to the pan, followed by the pasta and the egg-cheese mixture. If the sauce is too thick, adjust the consistency with pasta water.
- Final Touches: Serve hot with additional cheese on top if desired.
