Tomorrow is grocery day...and it is getting pretty bare in the fridge and in the cupboard. The choices for dinner tonight were pretty slim. First I thought we could have homemade pizza--but no cheese. Then I thought we could have sausage and perogies--but no sausage. Then I though we could have Thai stir fry--but no mushrooms, or broccoli, or anything else stir fry like..and on and on it went...
What I did have was lots of pasta, 1 carrot, 2 green onions, 1/4 red pepper and a few other items...here is what I came up with for dinner--turned out pretty excellent too!
Penne Carbonara
1/3 bag penne cooked al dente
1 small carrot shredded with your vegetable peeler
2 green onions sliced
1/4 red pepper diced
1/4 cup diced and cooked bacon
1/2 jar julienned sundried tomatoes
1/4 cup pecans
Sauce
3 egg yolks
1 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup half and half cream
Mix well. (will thicken as it sits)
Saute vegetables and add bacon, sundried tomatoes and pecans. Drain pasta and reserve 1/3 cup cooking liquid. Add pasta to veg mixture pour in reserved cooking liquid and sauce mixture. Mix until well coated. Serve with a bit of parm grated on top.
