Pasta Carbonara With Peas Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook fettuccine according to package directions, adding the peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking., In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add milk and cream cheese; cook and stir until blended. Remove from the heat; stir in prosciutto and Parmesan cheese., Drain fettuccine and peas; toss with sauce. Sprinkle with pepper.

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until tender-crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve the pan with the drippings.
• Separate 4 of the eggs and set the yolks aside. Discard the 4 whites. Crack the fifth egg and add it to the yolks.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 2/3 of the pancetta, the Parmigiano-Reggiano, black pepper and cayenne.
• Cook the pasta until al dente. Add the peas when the pasta is just about finished and strain both into the reserved pancetta drippings. Reserve about 3/4 cup pasta water to fortify the sauce.
• Add the egg mixture into the pasta and toss well with tongs for about 1 minute. Add the reserved pasta water to the bowl in 1/4 cup increments, combining and adding until desired sauce consistency is reached. Add the parsley and gently combine and place into a serving dish.
• Garnish with the reserved pancetta.

Steps:

• Boil pasta in salted water.
• Meanwhile render diced bacon. Shortly before it's completely rendered, add chopped onion and garlic slices. Cook until the onion is soft and add cream, pepper flakes, and nutmeg.
• When the pasta is cooked, transfer the pasta with a slotted spoon or large sieve directly from the pasta pot to the pan with the bacon. Do not drain the pasta first; you want some of the pasta water in the dish. Add the peas to the hot pasta water to blanch.
• Turn off the fire under the pasta and bacon mixture and add the eggs, stirring to thoroughly coat each pasta tube with the egg. Take care not to allow the egg yolks to scramble at the bottom of the pan. Transfer the peas with the slotted spoon or sieve from the pasta water to the pan along with the black pepper and parmesan. Continue to stir. Add pasta water if it appears too dry. Stir until every pasta tube is well coated with the sauce.
• Serve with freshly grated parmesan and some sliced green onion on top.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain, and set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs and cheese in a bowl. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet to paper towels to drain, then chop the bacon. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in the skillet and discard the rest. Add the garlic and peas to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the garlic is fragrant and the peas are warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Add the bacon and pasta to the skillet and heat over medium heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Working quickly, add the egg mixture to the pasta and toss with tongs until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Gradually add a little pasta water at a time to the pasta until a creamy, saucy consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle each serving with parsley and more cheese.
• Combine the eggs, flour, olive oil, salt and 1 tablespoon water in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a dough forms, about 10 seconds. Remove the dough from the food processor to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball; wrap with plastic and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough in half and keep one half refrigerated. Cut the remaining half into two equal pieces. (Make sure to keep the unused dough pieces covered.)
• Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible (but still thick enough to be lifted off the counter without breaking, about a 10-by-16- inch rectangle; the dough should be paper-thin, but you shouldn't be able to see through it.)
• Dust each dough sheet with flour. Fold the dough in half (using the short ends) and dust the top with flour. Repeat twice more, dusting with flour between each layer to create a stack. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into thin strips (1/4-inch wide).
• Separate the noodles into "nests" and let dry on a lightly floured surface, about 1 hour. Repeat the process with the remaining dough piece, then with the remaining refrigerated dough.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt until it tastes like the sea.
• Put the pancetta and a small glug of olive oil in a skillet or Dutch oven that's large enough to hold all the pasta. Cook until the pancetta is lightly browned but still slightly chewy, 9 to 12 minutes (or less if you're using thinly sliced pancetta). Season the pancetta very generously with pepper. Take the skillet off the heat, but don't drain anything-you'll use that fat!
• When the water is at a boil, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until almost al dente. When the pasta is almost ready, add the shelled peas to the pasta pot.
• Put the skillet back over medium heat and reheat the pancetta gently.
• With a ladle or a measuring cup, scoop out about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and peas. Whisk a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water into the fat and pancetta in the skillet, to make the bacon fat lighter and creamier by emulsifying it with the water. Pull the pan off the heat.
• Whisk some of that warm fat into the beaten egg to temper it (meaning to gently warm up the egg so that it doesn't scramble when you add it to the hot skillet), then whisk the egg into the skillet.
• Dump the pasta, peas, scallions, and pea tendrils (if using) into the skillet. Add both the cheeses and toss everything quickly and thoroughly to blend. Add a few more small splashes of the pasta water and keep tossing until the noodles are cloaked in a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or black pepper as needed. Serve right away. This dish does not wait.
