Post by: judydawn on February 25, 2012, 10:32:54 pm

I have copied this recipe from Sonan into this section for people looking for low fat meals

Low Fat Pasta Carbonara
November 29, 2011
      
I came up with this tmx variation of a favourite recipe, using a few different other tmx pasta recipes! I was impressed how well it worked !!

Low Fat Pasta Carbonara
Serves 4

Grate 50g parmesan on speed 8 10 seconds and set aside.
Drop 2 cloves of garlic (use one if you don't like garlicy flavour) and 1/2 an onion onto running blades, speed 6. Scrape down.
Add 1 zucchini and chop speed 5 for 3-4 seconds. Scrape down.
Add 20g of olive oil and cook 100oC speed 1, reverse for 3 minutes.
Add 50g of white wine, 550g water, 375ml can evaporated lite milk and 1 tablespoon tmx vege stock.
Cook 10mins 100oC speed 2, reverse.
Add 300g spaghetti, broken into thirds and 175g low fat bacon, cut into thin strips.
Cook 100oC 10 minutes speed 2, reverse.
Whisk one egg well and pour into running machine, reverse, speed 4 for a few seconds. Perhaps not speed 4, a bit too fast - JD, mod.
Pour into the thermosever and let sit for a few minutes.
Serve with cracked pepper, salt and parmesan.

Oh wow, this is great!!  Too yummy to be this easy.  Instead of bacon I topped the finished dish with Sous Vide Shrimp and Baked Lemon Thyme Mushrooms.

CM, I think towards the end as your pasta cooks it would get very mushy. But maybe you could make the sauce in the TMX and cook the pasta on the stovetop to stir through afterwards? ;)

Thanks Amy :) I was thinking that might be the case as it is with Spag Bol.  Makes it mush if you make everything in there

Baked Lemon Thyme Mushrooms sounds great. Do you have the recipe JLW?

I made this tonight but I used some shells , I found they got a bit mashed, the taste is nice.  I put in two eggs, I don't think I would put the speed up to 4 again when adding the egg.

You are right AB, I thought it was too fast too so used speed 2 I think it was.  I have made a note on the recipe to lower this speed.

Brenda, did you change the cooking time for the shells?
