Spaghetti Carbonara Pie Recipes

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA II

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti pasta until al dente. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and set aside.
• Meanwhile in a large skillet, cook chopped bacon until slightly crisp; remove and drain onto paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat; add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and heat in reused large skillet. Add chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add minced garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Add wine if desired; cook one more minute.
• Return cooked bacon to pan; add cooked and drained spaghetti. Toss to coat and heat through, adding more olive oil if it seems dry or is sticking together. Add beaten eggs and cook, tossing constantly with tongs or large fork until eggs are barely set. Quickly add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and toss again. Add salt and pepper to taste (remember that bacon and Parmesan are very salty).
• Serve immediately with chopped parsley sprinkled on top, and extra Parmesan cheese at table.

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA: THE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add guanciale (see Cook's Note). Cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk eggs, half of the Pecorino Romano cheese, and some black pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour egg mixture over pasta, stirring quickly, until creamy and slightly cooled. Stir in guanciale. Top with remaining Pecorino Romano cheese and more black pepper.

ULTIMATE SPAGHETTI CARBONARA RECIPE

Steps:

• Put a large saucepan of water on to boil.
• Finely chop the 100g pancetta, having first removed any rind. Finely grate 50g pecorino cheese and 50g parmesan and mix them together.
• Beat the 3 large eggs in a medium bowl and season with a little freshly grated black pepper. Set everything aside.
• Add 1 tsp salt to the boiling water, add 350g spaghetti and when the water comes back to the boil, cook at a constant simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until al dente (just cooked).
• Squash 2 peeled plump garlic cloves with the blade of a knife, just to bruise it.
• While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the pancetta with the garlic. Drop 50g unsalted butter into a large frying pan or wok and, as soon as the butter has melted, tip in the pancetta and garlic.
• Leave to cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the pancetta is golden and crisp. The garlic has now imparted its flavour, so take it out with a slotted spoon and discard.
• Keep the heat under the pancetta on low. When the pasta is ready, lift it from the water with a pasta fork or tongs and put it in the frying pan with the pancetta. Don't worry if a little water drops in the pan as well (you want this to happen) and don't throw the pasta water away yet.
• Mix most of the cheese in with the eggs, keeping a small handful back for sprinkling over later.
• Take the pan of spaghetti and pancetta off the heat. Now quickly pour in the eggs and cheese. Using the tongs or a long fork, lift up the spaghetti so it mixes easily with the egg mixture, which thickens but doesn't scramble, and everything is coated.
• Add extra pasta cooking water to keep it saucy (several tablespoons should do it). You don't want it wet, just moist. Season with a little salt, if needed.
• Use a long-pronged fork to twist the pasta on to the serving plate or bowl. Serve immediately with a little sprinkling of the remaining cheese and a grating of black pepper. If the dish does get a little dry before serving, splash in some more hot pasta water and the glossy sauciness will be revived.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large saucepot, prepare spaghetti in boiling salted water as label directs.
• Meanwhile, in blender at low speed, blend ricotta, Romano, eggs, egg yolk, pepper, nutmeg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth.
• Drain pasta and return to saucepot. Add ricotta mixture, bacon, and remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, stirring to combine.
• Transfer pasta mixture to 2 1/2-quart baking dish (about 2 inches deep). Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden around edges and almost set but still slightly liquid in center. Let pie stand 10 minutes before serving (liquid will be absorbed during standing). Cut into wedges to serve.

CHICKEN CARBONARA SPAGHETTI PIE

Steps:

• Butter a 10" deep dish pie plate.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook spaghetti, two minutes short of package directions, in salted water. It still should be a bit chewy. Drain and rinse under tap water to stop cooking. Pour back into the pan after cooled and drained.
• Add melted butter, Romano cheese and the two eggs to the cooked spaghetti and mix to combine then pour into the prepared pie plate. Press down and up the sides. Place a parchment circle or plastic wrap over top and press another pie plate down so that it forms a depression. Weight the top plate down and refrigerate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet to crisp and remove to paper towels then coarsely chop and set aside. Save three tablespoons of bacon fat and save the remaining fat for some other recipe or dispose.
• Coarsely cut up the chicken and place in a food processor and pulse until the meat is chopped. Some pieces can be as large as a grape and others as small as a grain of rice.
• Heat the large skillet over medium high heat and add two tablespoons of the bacon fat. Once hot, add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook three minutes.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of bacon fat and add the chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink then remove from heat and set aside.
• Mix the milk and cream in a microwave safe bowl and heat to hot.
• In a small bowl place egg yolk and slowly whisk in about a cup of the hot milk mixture then add that back into the hot milk and whisk. This process tempers the egg yolk so it does not scramble in the hot liquid. Set aside.
• In the pan used to cook the spaghetti, heat the butter over medium heat and once melted, add in the flour and cook for about three minutes stirring occasionally.
• Whisk in the hot milk mixture one third at a time, letting each third thicken before adding the next.
• Season this sauce with salt, pepper, mustard and nutmeg then remove from heat.
• Drain off liquid that formed in the bottom of the cooked chicken pan and pour the solids back in along with the cooked sauce, the cooked bacon and the fontina cheese. Stir to combine.
• Remove the spaghetti lined dish from the refrigerator and make sure the spaghetti kept its shape up the sides.
• Spread the ricotta along the bottom over the spaghetti then pour in the chicken mixture, leaving a spaghetti top edge (like a pie crust edge).
• Bake for 40 minutes, remove and sprinkle on the mozzarella then bake for five more minutes.
• Place under broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden.
• Let the pie sit loosely covered with foil for 20 minutes to set up then cut into six or eight portions and serve with a pie server.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA PIE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boiling. 2. Cook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just crisp, 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towellined plate. 3. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti 9 minutes in boiling water. Drain and return to pot. 4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and yolks. Add 2/3 cup of the cheese, the milk, half-and-half, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss sauce with pasta in pot along with bacon. Transfer to prepared dish and top with remaining 2 tbsp Parmesan. 5. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then cut into wedges.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside tightly in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
• Chop pancetta into 1/2-inch cubes and saute over medium heat until well browned. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Boil the broccoli rabe for 1 to 2 minutes in the salted water until it has some give. Fish it out with a large slotted spoon and drain. Set aside.
• Now add the spaghetti to your boiling water and cook until 2 minutes shy of done, so very al dente. While the pasta cooks, use a towel to squeeze all excess moisture from the broccoli rabe. Separate out 1 cup of broccoli rabe and chop it finely. (Reserve the remainder for another use.)
• Drain the pasta well and let cool slightly.
• In large bowl, whisk eggs, yolks, milk, salt, pepper and all but 1/2 cup of cheese together. Add the spaghetti, chopped broccoli rabe and pancetta and toss to combine. Pour mixture into the prepared springform. Sprinkle last 1/2 cup cheese on top.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until bronzed and the center is set. The best way to check is to tip your pan to the side and make sure no loose custard runs out. If it does, bake it for 5 minutes more. If the top of your pie browns too quickly before the center is set, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for 5 minutes before removing the foil, cutting around springform to loosen and releasing the pie onto a serving plate. Serve in wedges.
