Carbonara with mascarpone

Carbonara-with Mascarpone

This is a great variation of the classic carbonara. I made this one with bacon, dried tomatoes, spinach and a smooth mascarpone sauce. 

Ingredients

  • 500 g  tagliatelle
  • 300 g mascarpone
  • 400 g fresh spinach
  • 100 g chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 200 g bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Cook the tagliatelle in salted water.

In the meantime, cut the bacon into cubes and fry in a hot pan with olive oil. Add the chopped shallot and garlic and bake for 5 minutes on low heat. Then add the spinach, stir and cook until the leaves are tender.

In a bowl, mix the mascarpone with the eggs, season with salt and plenty of pepper. Pour this into the pan with the bacon and simmer another 5 minutes. At the end add the dried tomatoes and pasta.

Arrange on plates and serve hot. Enjoy!!

    Just don’t call it that way because it has nothing to do with a Carbonara!

    Simmering the egg & mascarpone will make it curdle, the right method would not be to combine both ingredients and add egg only when you take the pan off the heat.
