CLASSIC CARBONARA
This is my classic carbonara recipe. I think it is as close to the real deal as you can get (and yes, that means NO CREAM!), that is what the egg, parmesan and pasta water is for!
I hope you enjoy this simple, classic carbonara recipe that can be whipped up in minutes!
Makes enough for ~3 people, or scale as needed)
300g Spaghetti
3x Eggs (yolk only)
1 cup Parmesan, finely grated
Lots of Freshly Ground Black Pepper (freshly ground)
150g Guanciale, skin removed and cut into lardons
Salt, to taste
Step 1. Whisk eggs, parmesan, and pepper until well combined.
Step 2. Starting in a cold pan fry off guanciale over medium-high heat until crispy. While the pork is frying, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Do not discard the pasta water — you will need this.
Step 3. Using tongs, add the spaghetti to the guanciale pan, tossing to coat. Remove pan from heat and add the egg/cheese mixture. Toss well to coat and add pasta water until the sauce is deliciously glossy.
Serve with more grated parm and pepper.

Nduja is a dangerously addictive, spreadable firecracker of Calabrian pork and chilies that melts into a smoky, spicy sauce all over anything it touches. In this case, it is the perfect addition to a classic vodka pasta (which is one of the simplist and most delicious pastas you can make!)

Every Greek family has got a favourite but nobody can pick a winner, so instead, I have built both into one tray….this is the Pastitsio Moussaka, and it is delicious (hopefully the Greeks don’t hate me for this!)
I keep the velvety eggplant from the Moussaka, adding in the tubular pasta from the Pastitsio and tying it all together with a signature meat sauce!
