green bean carbonara
Green beans and carbonara just seemed like a perfect combination. Green beans and bacon are a classic combination, so I wanted to try green beans as the star attraction in this dish. This would be great with some mushroom as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. (:

How To Make green bean carbonara
-
1Start a dutch oven pot with salted water on high heat covered for pasta. -
2Cook pasta of choice until aldente. Keep warm until ready to toss with the rest of ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. I work on this while preparing the green beans and bacon.
-
3In a large skillet on medium low heat render bacon pieces in olive oil. Remove bacon and set aside.
-
4Add green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes.
-
5Add garlic and cook 3 more minutes until garlic is fragrant and tender.
-
6Add wine/chicken broth, cook until reduced by half about 5 minutes.
-
7Add pasta. Add egg and parmesean all at once. Add bacon. Toss until well combined. If your sauce is too thick for your taste, add the 1/4 cup reserved pasta water.
-
8Add lemon juice and give one final toss. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve with additional grated parmesean if desired.
