Carbonara.

That looks perfect. Would you share the recipe?

Thanks Daz. Only there isn't one. Here's a rough method.

Some smoked bacon. Dry cured ideally. Fried.

Some diced onion. Not much. Maybe a third. Translucent.

Mix three yolks with a dash of double cream, grated Parmesan and the same amount of cheddar. A blob of mustard adds some body. About a teaspoon.

When you amalgamate the pasta with bacon and onion, allow to cool off the heat for one minute so as not to scramble your mixture. Agitate quickly, season with white pepper and salt if needed. Dish up and eat hot.

Is that ok?

Had the £10 Chinese meal deal from M&S tonight and it was quite decent.

Yeah, thanks for the effort.

It's not far off how I make it but yours looks so much better. I have no onions and only one egg. Oh, and maybe a load of butter and a wee bit of garlic.

EDIT
And a bit of the pasta water

[Pferdestarke]

Yes. A little garlic too. I find granules good for spread of flavour.

Potatoes, black pudding and egg.

I like this idea, just needs another egg!

I'm doing a Lamb rack 'Honour Guard' for boxing day, yours looks perfect, how long did you cook it for?

Thanks, it was the first time I'd cooked it and it was lovely, though it was a smidge too tomatoey....I was a bit heavy on the tomato paste I think! Solid 9/10 though!

You'll need to make the 'Taz' base sauce which can be found here:

Once I'd rendered the fat in the pan I put it in the oven for about 15 mins. It was still under so I gave it another 5 mins or so. It needed a good 10 mins resting, a *lot* of liquid came out. My oven isn't the greatest so I rely on a meat thermometer.

Works really well with the lamb and rich sauce. Adds a nice fresh sharpness and some kick.
