I was surprised that I was able to do this! Not only was this easy to do, it was also a quick dish to prepare. I cooked my linguini according to instructions... and when it was boiling, sweat a few bacon bits on the pan and set them aside... added enough olive oil and sauteed lots of garlic, careful not to burn them....
I just tossed the pasta into the pan... topped with the bacon bits, some parsley, season with salt and pepper....
and it's ready!
Plate it and top it with lots of grated parmesan cheese... and enjoy! We enjoyed this so much we had this for dinner for two consecutive nights.
Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteshalum, thanks. it tasted as nice as it looked. ;-)
ReplyDeleteUy, it looks good. And easy to do! I will try this one tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeletemindy, naku, i didnt expect it to be good... gulat ako talaga. i thought it would be bland and blah... pero restaung restau ang taste... ill never order this sa restau anymore. kaya naman pala gawin at home. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour family and mine...parehong-pareho---hilig kumain! hehehe...
ReplyDeleteAng ganda ng photo pwede sa food magazine--in fact I seriously think you should contribute to a food mag with your sort of rave and rant reviews hehe...
I guess I'll have to coax my wife to cook this for me....I'll go to grocery later to buy bacon and parmesan (maybe I'll add some white chili sauce---what do you think?)...medyo spicy-tounged kasi ako..
Ooops...pagaling ka pala :)
parang same yung feeling natin nong nadiscover ko naman ung mga pasta mix [carbonara, creamy garlic, etc..] sa supermarket... natawa talaga ako na mga 20 mins lang.. magic pasta na!
ReplyDeletedennis, put lots of parmesan ha... thats the trick i think.
ReplyDeleteand yes, chili is actually part of the original recipe i saw. i just omitted it sa version ko. ;-)
thanks, i feel better now actually.
mimi, mas practical na talaga to prepare meals at home diba.. overpriced na sa mga restaus. mas masarap pa luto natin. naks! ;-)
looks delicious! Nagutom tuloy ako! Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteLinguini, bacon, olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese - looks like something even I can put together with no problem. I think I will try it tomorrow and invite my next door neighbor to share it with me. If he stops talking to me, I know I missed an ingredient or I just did not do it right LOL. Just being silly.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'll give it a shot. I'm tired of eating spaghetti with meatballs or door to door pizza, if I want to go Italian.
Mmmm... mukhang masarap! Masubukan nga.
ReplyDeletemochi08, we had this again this lunch. ang dali lang kasi gawin. and sarap sha.
ReplyDeletebertn, i hope youll like it as much as we did. let me know ha...
wiggletoes, yes, quick and easy pa sha... very healthy pa kasi evoo ang gamit. hindi sha kaumay unlike cream or tomato based pastas... try mo!
I love this too! Try making one with sliced fresh tomatoes and fresh basil. I bet you'll love it.
ReplyDeletedyosa, wow, thanks for the tip... sounds good nga... i think ill do that next time.

ReplyDeletewow mukhang masarap! :D yung iba kasing similar recipes, parang walang laman. pero yours looks yummy :D healthy pa. masubukan nga minsan :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks so yummy to me. :) Ate what kind of bacon did you used? putting a lot of parmesan is a good thing. yun ang nagpapalasa sa pasta like this one. :)Hay kakagutom. :)
ReplyDeletemikky, anytime... love to share everything thats delicious!
ReplyDeleteturtle, thanks.
i do traditional dishes lang, joy. kaya i am always ecstatic to share pag nakaka chamba ako like this one. hahaha..
weyn, actually nga, kulang pa yan.. some put sundried tomatoes and chili flakes. im not fond of them so i didnt add. ok na ako with tons of parmesan.
lemonandmint, ay trulili... parmesan does the magic in pasta no! even in carbonara pala. anyway, i used canadian bacon here. ;-)
