Roasted Broccoli Lemon Spaghetti Carbonara Recipes

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Beat the eggs with a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the boiling water from the pot.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the pot of boiling water as the label directs for al dente; add the broccoli in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and broccoli and return to the pot over medium-low heat. Add the bacon and stir to coat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened and coats the pasta but the eggs are not scrambled, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cheese and all but 2 tablespoons of the scallions. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking water to make a creamy sauce. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with the reserved scallions and more cheese.

SKINNYISH BROCCOLI CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli.
• While the pasta cooks, add the pancetta to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and discard. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until it softens slightly, about 1 minute.
• In the meantime, whisk together the Parmesan, eggs and some salt and pepper in a bowl, then set aside.
• When the pasta and broccoli are cooked, reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta and broccoli to the skillet along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water and toss.
• While whisking, whisk 1/4 cup of the pasta water into the egg mixture.
• Turn the heat off under the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly so the eggs don't scramble. Add a little more of the pasta water to thin out the sauce, if necessary. Serve immediately with lots of black pepper and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.
