15-minute meat-free Carbonara (using Quorn™ Meat Free Bacon Lardons)

Have you tried Quorn Meat Free Bacon Lardons yet? They’re amazing little pieces of flavourful, meat-free deliciousness and they’re just perfect for making carbonara – so that’s what I’ve done.

I’ve broken with tradition by using cream in this recipe, but I promise it’s really yummy, packed with flavour, and I think you’re going to love it.

Ingredients

• 500g spaghetti
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 250g pack Quorn Meat Free Bacon Lardons
• 300ml double cream
• 4 egg yolks
• salt and pepper
• 60g vegetarian hard cheese

Instructions

Put your pasta on to boil in plenty of boiling, salted water.

Warm the oil in a pan and add the Quorn Meat Free Bacon Lardons.

Fry for around 3 minutes until just starting to brown a little. Set aside in a bowl.

Take the pan off the heat and pour in your cream.

Add the egg yolks.

Add a good pinch of salt and pepper.

Whisk to combine.

Add the cheese.

Mix again until fully combined.

When your pasta is al dente, drain and add to the pan – return the pan to a low heat.

Toss the pasta in the sauce until evenly coated. The residual heat from the pasta will help gently cook the eggs – don’t turn the heat up.

Add the Quorn Meat Free Bacon Lardons and serve, seasoning more as desired.
