How To Make Spaghetti Carbonara

• What are the ingredients for this recipe? The ingrediens for this receipe are:

• 200 g dried spaghetti
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 6 bacon slices, chopped
• 2 egg yolks
• 35 g parmesan cheese
• 4 tbsp cream
• salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 2 saucepans

• Write down the steps to make spaghetti carbonara
  

Step 1:

1. Prepare a pan of boiling water and season with salt. Place the pasta into the pan and push it down with your wooden spoon, so that all the spaghetti is submerged under the water. Add half of the oil and cook for roughly 7-10 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   Meanwhile, into a warmed second pan add the olive oil, then the chopped bacon. Stir and let it render, stirring for a few minutes. To render simply means to melt the fat. Then turn the heat off.

3. Step 3:

   Place the egg yolks into a bowl, then the cream and the parmesan cheese. Combine it all together.

4. Step 4:

   When the pasta is cooked, transfer it into a colander, then place the colander back on top of the saucepan to drain the excess liquid.

5. Step 5:

   Once the pasta is thoroughly drained, quickly place it back into the pan of bacon fat and stir well to coat the pasta. Then pour in the egg mixture and mix thoroughly.

6. Step 6:

7. After mixing thoroughly, season with salt and pepper and add the chopped parsley. Use the tongs to place a generous helping onto each serving plate.

   CHOCOLATE BROWNIES:

8. Ingredients:
9. • 250 g caster sugar
   • 180 g plain chocolate drops
   • 180 g soft butter
   • 110 g plain flour
   • 1 vanilla extract
   • 3 eggs
   • some butter for greasing
   • 150 g walnuts
   Process:
   
   

   1. Step 1:

      Grease the side of the tin by rubbing with a kitchen towel dipped in a little soft butter. Line with a square of baking parchment.
      
      Turn on the oven, and set it to 160 degrees Celsius, or 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

   2. Step 2:

      Fill the saucepan with a little water, and sit a heat proof bowl on top. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water, and definitely not the bottom of the saucepan. Remove some of the water if this is the case.
      
      Cut the butter up into small pieces. Place them in the bowl and add the chocolate.

   3. Step 3:

      Put the saucepan over a low heat. Make sure the saucepan handle is facing away from you, so you don't knock it. The chocolate and butter will gently melt over about 10 minutes. Don't be tempted to stir! This will solidify the chocolate, and you won't be able to melt it again after that.

   4. Step 4:

      When completely melted, stir gently with a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat, remove the bowl from the pan and leave it to cool.

   5. Step 5:

      Put the 3 eggs, 250 grams of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into a large bowl. Whisk together

   6. Step 6:

      Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture

   7. Step 7:

      Now add 110 grams of plain flour. Use a method called cutting and folding to mix it, moving the spoon in a figure of 8. This helps to keep the mixture light and airy. If you would like, add 150g chopped walnuts, again using the cutting and folding action.

   8. Step 8:

      Put the mixture in a tin and smooth the top over evenly. Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 20 to 30 minutes. If you can, set a timer to make sure they don't over cook. Check after 20 minutes. The chocolate brownies should still be soft but not springy.

   9. Step 9:

      Remove the chocolate brownies from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes.

   10. Step 10:

       Cut into squares with a sharp knife. Lift the baking parchment from the tin, and use a pallet knife to transfer the chocolate brownies to a serving plate.

       
       

3- Prepare the recipe for your favorite dish: paella, tortilla...?
Take pictures or make a video of the process. Enjoy your meal!

My favorite food is the chips tortilla. These are the ingredients for this meal:

- 180 g plain white flour

- 1 tsp salt

- 1 tsp dried yeast

- ½ tsp caster sugar

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 120 ml warm water

- polenta for dusting

And these are the steps to prepare this dish:

1. 
   

   Step 1:

   Place the sieve over a bowl, add the flour and gently shake it through.

   Step 2:

   In the medium bowl, combine the salt, yeast and caster sugar. Make a hole in the centre, add the olive oil and warm water and mix in well. Give it a quick, final mix by hand to create a rough paste.

2. Step 3:

   Remove the dough from the bowl and place onto the chopping board. Knead the dough for roughly 3-4 minutes, using the heel of your hand. Keep kneading until it has formed a smooth ball.

3. Step 4:

   Transfer the dough into a large clean bowl, cover with some cling film, and leave it to rise for approximately two hours or until it has doubled in size.

4. Step 5:

   Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the dough with flour. Remove it from the bowl and place onto a flat surface. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and roll it into a circle. Dust with flour again, turn it over and roll the other side.

5. Flour the base of the circular baking tray. Place the dough over the tray and push it outwards into a rustic circle.

If you aren't going to bake it straight away, it needs to be wrapped in cling film and kept in the fridge, for a maximum of 24hours.
