Syn free on EE day spaghetti carbonara

Loves Life!
Hi there, thought I would share this one with you, as I made it from the philidelphia website and adapted it sw styleee.

For sauce:

Bacon pieces (quantities to suit)
Veg stock cube
Tub of quark
2 raw eggs

Pasta for each person.

Method:

Cook pasta.

Partly fry bacon in a deep pan. When almost cooked, sprinkle the veg stock cube over and cover with water. Bring to boil and reduce.
When stock has reduced, turn heat down.

In a bowl beat together quark and eggs and add black pepper.
In drained pasta pan, add bacon mix and the quark mix and stir until pasta coated.

Absolutely delicious!!
 
I wasn't disappointed with this version even without the Parmesan cheese..you could always syn some if you want to include it. My biggest fear was the quark as it can be an acquired taste, but actually with some black pepper it really is nice.
 
I made mine the traditional way without the cream/quark, using just eggs. Although I did use Quorn deli ham as I'm veggie :)

I followed this recipe and just HEXed the cheese, and added a little finely chopped onion and garlic.

It was yum!
 
Found this recipe in an advert in the SW mag. adapted to suit ingredients in the house.
