Tiramisu

The recipe from Savoiardi biscuit packaging.

Pasta Carbonara

Pan fry some bacon pieces and put 80g of pasta onto the boil.  Whisk up a mixture of 1 egg, a splash of cream, cracked black pepper and grated parmesan/pecorino.  When pasta is ready, turn the bacon down to low heat and add 2 tablespoon of pasta water to the bacon.  Add the hot drained pasta and egg mixture and stir for no more than 30 seconds.  Pour into bowl and add more grated cheese and serve immediately.
