I hope you had a nice time in Malta.

22

Yeah it was nice. The hotel had the best egg man I have encountered on my travels.

23

Was it an omelette station kind of thing?

25

Are you adding the starchy pasta water?
Thats the key maaaan

26

a wee ladleful

27

Yeah but a well versed egg man’s repertoire is far more more diverse than mere omelettes (@saps plain omelette reference here).

28

Samesies.

I mix up the yolks and the parmesan into a paste. Dump it in the pasta once its cook and then a spash of the water, mix it up and then leave it for a few mins covered up

This was exactly what I was hoping for. What kind of things was he boshing out?

I think the recipe I have has four egg yolks plus two whole eggs. Seems to be rich enough that way.

I have cheese on my weetabix and in my fruit smoothie.

I’m chock full of cheese.

Take that back!

Cream in guacamole.

Why would you do that.

the secret to a non-dry carbonara is to hive off some of the starchy pasta cooking water - and then add that to the sauce/ pasta mix at the end to get the desired consistency

I use dry vermouth instead of wine generally (just because it’s easier to have that in and not drink it) - and grate some nutmeg in too
