HOMEMADE SPELT CARBONARA WITH CRIPSY BACON & SHALLOTS

Method:

1. Add flour and salt to a large bowl and create a well in the centre, add whisked egg. Using your
hands combine the dough by bringing in the flour from the sides. The dough may be crumbly
but after a few minutes you will form a smooth ball of dough (sprinkle with additional flour if it’s
too sticky). Cover bowl and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan and drizzle with olive oil. Add shallot and allow to fry off for a
couple of minutes. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Set aside.

3. Whisk eggs, garlic powder and milk until smooth. Set aside.

4. Place dough between two sheets of lightly floured baking paper. Roll out with a roller to a large
rectangle, making the dough as thin as possible (the thinner the dough the better texture when
cooking). Cut into long fettucine sized strips.

5. Place pasta into salted boiled water and cook for 2-4 minutes or until cooked through. Drain and
return to the saucepan. Add crispy bacon and whisked egg, stir through.

6. Serve with fresh parmesan and parsley.
