I bought a bunch of fresh free range eggs and decided to make
carbonara. The recipe I told you about yesterday has been postponed until tomorrow. I am taking advantage of our wonderful cold weather to make some last winter dishes. tomorrow is going to be the coldest day we have had in ages so it is a good day for cold weather cooking.
For the carbonara dice 1/2 pound of pancetta.
Dice it into small cubes.
Slice a large onion into thin slices.
I like to add some bacon too. Fry about 8 pieces of bacon.
Fry the pancetta until crisp.
Remove the pancetta and set aside.
Dice about 3 T. of fresh rosemary.
Saute' the onion in the leftover bacon/pancetta grease.
Add the rosemary and some salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
Remove this from the heat and stir in the meat.
Crack 8 egg yolks into a bowl. Measure 1 cup Romano cheese and 1 cup Parmesan. Boil 1 1/2 pounds of spaghetti until al dente. Drain and reserve 2 cups of the pasta water. Slowly whisk the pasta water into the eggs to temper them. Whisk in the cheeses until you have a smooth sauce. Toss the pasta with the spaghetti.
The rosemary is a nice addition to carbonara.

Thanks for your kind comments about Halle. Spoke to my vet this afternoon. We are going to try two anti-convulsant medications to hopefully keep the seizures at bay. So far she rested well on Sunday night and today, so far, so good! She goes to Doggie Day Care and will be watched very carefully this week for any adverse reactions to her new medications.
