totally out of groceries dinner

Have to eat out a ton this week so I didn't want to buy groceries. So, I made my old standby. Pasta Carbonara. YUM! It's the perfect comfort food and it sound's fancy too.

SERVING FOR UNO

1 Cup Corkscrew Pasta

3 tbs milk or cream

2 tsp butter

1 egg

1/2 Cup parm cheese

3 pieces bacon chopped

Salt & Pepper

Pinch of Crush Red Pepper (optional)

1) Cook the bacon till brown, drain on paper towels
2) Cook pasta according to box, salt water

3) Gently beat egg with milk until just blended

4) Add parm cheese, pepper and red pepper to egg & milk mixture

5) Drain pasta, coat pasta with butter

6) Slowly add egg & milk mixture to hot pasta stirring constantly so egg doesn't scramble

7) Add bacon

8) Enjoy while feeling accomplished about making something that ends in vowel in less than 30 minutes with ingredients you already had at home!
