My take on veggie carbonara step by step
- Boil a full kettle of water and separate the egg yolks into a bowl (you can use the whites for an omelette or something). Grate the Parmesan, slice the mushrooms and crush the garlic..
- Put the pasta in a large pot, season with salt and cover with boiling water..
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan with a tbsp olive oil. Fry the garlic but don’t brown it. Then add the mushrooms and fry for a couple of minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper and then add the kale. Add a bit more oil if needed and cook until the kale starts to soften. Then remove from the heat until the pasta is cooked.
- One the pasta is al dente, drain, reserving about 1 cup of cooking water. Add the pasta to the vegetables with a good splash of cooking water and heat gentle for a minute. Meanwhile add the Parmesan to the egg yolks and mix together..
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the egg mixture. The remaining heat should cook but not scramble the egg. Add a little more cooking water to create a light and smooth coating on the pasta..
- Finish of with some more Parmesan (you decide how much) and a sprinkling of black pepper..
