Take-out Tuesday, Salami Carbonara
Carbonara…it just might be the ultimate comfort food….😋
If you’ve never made Carbonara, it’s a great thing to have in your repertoire
It’s the dish that chefs make most often for themselves after a long day in the kitchen
It’s heavenly satisfying, a cinch to throw together, and a hit with all appetites
If you have pasta, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salami, ham, prosciutto or bacon, you’re in business
Saute the salami and garlic {if using bacon, cook it until done then add the garlic for the last minute so it won’t burn}
Combine the eggs and Parmesan cheese
Cook the pasta and add a little to the egg-cheese mixture to temper the eggs {slowly warm without causing them to scramble}
Then combine everything in the skillet with the salami and garlic. Stir, adding a little pasta water to form a silky sauce.
Season with salt and pepper
garnish with parsley or basil

Question – notice that the picture shows DRY SALAMI. Can deli sliced HARD SALAMI be used also? Would you use 4 oz. bacon to sub. for 4 oz salami? Or would you use more oz. for bacon?
Sure, you can use any time of salami, bacon, ham, prosciutto, pancetta and as much or as little as you like~ adjust to your taste~
