here's a quick fave of mine:
faux carbonara
---------------------------------
fettuccine
nestle cream
eden cheese
cooked ham
bacon
garlic
butter
1. cook fettuccine in boiling water (with a tsp of oil and a dash of salt)
2. when cooked, immediately rinse with cold water so it doesn't get soggy
3. heat a deep pan, then put 1 tbsp butter and garlic*
4. once garlic is browned a bit, add the 1 carton on nestle cream and grated eden cheese*
5. cut the cooked ham* into tiny squares and fry on a separate pan, do the same with bacon*
6. once you notice that the cheese has dissolved in the mixture, add the second carton of nestle cream
7. stir until thick
8. mix the sauce and the pasta, then add the ham and bacon
9. grate some more of the eden cheese over the carbonara or you can use parmesan
* amount of these ingredients is up to you
-- you can substitute the fettuccine with macaroni
-- if you wanna make it a bit more fancy, you can chop up some button mushrooms and add them to the sauce, and serve it with garlic toast
