The Perfect Carbonara-
Article: The Carbonara is a quick, easy to prepare meal that shouldn't take longer than however long you wish to boil your pasta.

Ingredients (serves 1):

Pasta (any form you find preferable)
Eggs (2)
Cream (1 cup)
Lemon (1)
Parmesan cheese (1 cup)
Black pepper
Olive Oil
Italian sausages
Pancetta
Smoky bacon
Parsley

1) Set the pasta on the boil, with a dash of salt and olive oil in the water.
2) Add some olive oil to a large fry pan. Once the oil has heated, add chopped italian sausages, the pancetta and smoky bacon.
3) As the meat is cooking, add the eggs, cream and a cup of parmesan cheese into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Once thoroughly mixed, add chopped parsley for some added visual appeal. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into the mixture.
4) By now the meat is well on its way to being thoroughly cooked. Add considerable quantities of black pepper to the meat. The trick is to make the meat as dark as possible, so add substantial amounts of the pepper until the meat is very dark.
5) Once the meat and pasta are cooked, remove the pasta from the boil and add it to the frying pan. Toss the pasta and meat for a few seconds.
6) Turn off the heat and wait for half a minute for the pan to cool down somewhat. (IMPORTANT, as if you add the eggs to a hot frying pan, they will create scrambled eggs)
7) Add the egg and cream mixture to the now cooler pan and thoroughly mix.
8) Serve on a plate, garnish with parsley, black pepper, parmesan cheese and a dash of olive oil.
