Instructions
- First peel the potatoes and dice them, and slice up the carrots and onion.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots and basil and let them soften. At this point add a pinch of salt & pepper too.
- Add the diced bacon and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the bacon is golden.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring to the boil then simmer slowly.
- When the potatoes have softened, mash them with a fork, then add the white wine and bring to the boil then let it simmer. The potatoes don't need to be mashed 100%, but just roughly.
- In another pot cook the pasta with a pinch of salt.
- Add the pasta once it's al dente into your pan containing all the other ingredients. Mix well. Tip: Save one glass of the water you used to cook the pasta in.
- Add the glass of pasta water and parmesan cheese and mix everything together. This will create an amazing cream.
- Pasta is ready!
Notes
- Save a cup of pasta cooking water.
- Use potatoes rich in starch.
- The pasta should always be al dente.
- If you are using authentic parmesan cheese and it’s nearly done, instead of throwing away the crust, add it
