So tonight's very pretty & colorful Feingold friendly meal was ham carbonara...yummy and I got this recipe from Taste of Home's website. I love looking for new recipe, I love trying new recipes and I am very lucky my family doesn't mind telling me how they feel about it, is it a keeper or do I toss it...
Ham Carbonara Recipe
Serves 4-6 ( large servings)
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 small yellow summer squash, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound thick sliced deli ham, cubed
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the zucchini, summer squash, onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add ham and peas; heat through. Remove and keep warm.
- Reduce heat to low; add eggs to the skillet. Cook and stir until egg mixture coats the back of a spoon and reaches 160° (mixture will look like a soft frothy egg). Drain spaghetti and place in a bowl. Add eggs; toss to coat. Add the vegetable mixture, 1/4 cup cheese, thyme, salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
VERDICT: very good and a keeper. The servings are big and it's so colorful and creamy
