Got an easy one for you Ayla

Will do a quick translation for you, its a really quick, throw it all in, no mess recipe  ;D ;D ;D
Obviously I am sure there will be more gourmet ways of making it, with sauce and then pasta separate, but this does work well for an everyday meal! Only thing is serves 2 adults only or 1 adult and 2 kids. But takes 15 mins only  :o :o :o how fab is that. A real emergency lunch or dinner!  ;D ;D ;D

NIDOS DE PASTA A LA CARBONARA
For 2 only

Ingredients:
150g tagliatelle (not tested for any other pasta)
450g warm water
200g thick cream
1 small tub of bacon bits
1 spoon orégano
1 spoon garlic powder (opcional)
1 spoon salt
1 beaten egg
Grated cheese
To Prepare:
Grate cheese speed 5 to 10, keep aside.
Place all the ingredients in Thx except the egg and program 15 mins, temp. 100º, Spoon soft, reverse speed. (If you like your pasta soft, cook extra 2 mins.)
2 mins before the end, pour egg through the hole. Pour into serving dish, turn it upside down and turn the black screw part of the bottom of the blades, back and forth and all the pasta will fall out easily. Sprinkle cheese over the top.

Please note, these times and amounts are exactly for tagliatelle (dried pasta) and not macarrones or any other pasta. Although it may appear too much water for the amount of pasta, the end result is perfect, by the time you pour it in to teh serving dish and sprinkle with cheese and serve on teh table, it will be perfect in the picture, as shown in Alicia's blog, plaese see photos on link above!!

Thanks bron - funny, I saw a recipe on one of the Spanish blogs yesterday and now can't find it.  :( :(

Carbonara traditionally does not contain cream - but in Australia it is an essential ingredient!!

I have posted "your" recipe in the mains section along with one that was taken from an Italian site.

Now I am embarrassed  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ as I had the recipe sitting on my desktop and somebody probably wanted it ages ago ???
