Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g spaghetti cooked
  • 100 g hard cheese finely grated (eg parmesan, guyere, cheddar)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 250 ml double cream
  • 250 g leftover ham or we used bacon lardons

Method
 

  1. Before you start, if you don’t have left over pasta and ham, cooked the pasta and ham or bacon and add to a bowl. Allow to cool down.
Preheat the oven to 180C and prepare a cake tin.
  1. Grease a 20cm loose bottomed cake tin with oil (you can pour a little oil in and get them to brush it over all the sides.) Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese over the bottom and shake it up the sides a little.
Add everything to your bowl
  1. Add the cream and cheese to the bowl of pasta. Break the eggs into a separate bowl first to give them a quick whisk before adding to the pasta. Give it a good mix so all the pasta is coated.
Bake the carbonara cake
  1. Add the pasta to your prepared cake tin and pat down with the back of a spoon.
  2. Pop it on a baking tray into the oven and bake for 35 minutes. It’s ready when it looks golden brown and has cooked through.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before turning out of the tin.
  4. Serve with a lovely green salad and enjoy!
