Jamie's Pasta Carbonara with Courgette (and chicken)
Tagliatelle Carbonara with Courgette & Chicken
I used Jamie Oliver’s recipe for Courgette Carbonara and adjusted it a little. So this is what I did:
Mix together and set aside:
3 egg yolks
50 gr parmesan, grated
100 ml cream
salt/pepper
Panfry until golden and crispy:
100 gr smoked bacon
Then add
400 gr light green courgettes (cut in cubes)
2 t coarse ground black pepper
1 T thyme
And panfry until golden brown and soft.
In another baking pan, panfry:
200 gr chicken breast
Season with salt and another pinch of coarse ground black pepper.
Add to the pan with the bacon & courgette.
In the meantime, cook and drain:
250 gr fresh tagliatelle
But don’t forget to take 1 cup of cooking liquid before you drain.
After you drain the pasta, add it to the courgette/bacon/chicken-mixture.
Take it off the heat. Add a litte cooking liquid and the eggyolk/parmesan/cream-mixture.
Quickly mix it together. Add a little more cooking liquid if needed. Sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan and serve immediately.
