Ingredients
- 8 oz. pasta shells I used Banza, uncooked
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15g
- 10 oz. cherry tomato one pint
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, large
- 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese freshly shredded, 30g
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for serving, grated, 30g
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, mozzarella, Parmesan, and salt. Set aside.
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Make sure to drain and rinse well (especially if you are using chickpea pasta).
- Blister Tomatoes: While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shiny, add tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until tomatoes are slightly blistered and softened.
- Assemble: Add the warm pasta and tomatoes (along with their juices) to the large bowl with the sauce. Gently toss pasta to coat. Taste and add more salt and pepper to your preference. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper to serve!
Notes
- Add in or serve along your favorite protein for the perfect carbonara. A few of my favorites are:
- Or serve with your favorite roasted vegetables to keep this a vegetarian dish.
- Chicken - Try one of my favorite chicken recipes like these panko chicken nuggets, shredded chicken, balsamic chicken, or chicken schnitzel.
- Beef - try these easy and delicious steak bites.
- Seafood - serve with salmon or shrimp for the best seafood carbonara.
