Lazy girl's supper

As you can probably tell from the recipes on here, I’m not one to spend hours slaving in the kitchen (except for very special occasions). So when I had a craving for a bowl of creamy pasta one evening, I came up with this very simple recipe for Smoked Salmon Carbonara that’s a godsend when you CBBC (Can’t Be Bothered to Cook).

Boil up some pasta and while this is on the go, pan fry some smoked salmon fillets in a little olive oil. While the fish is cooking you can make the carbonara sauce. Start by frying a chopped garlic clove in some

oil then combine this with 3 beaten eggs, around 150ml single cream and 2tbsp grated parmesan in a bowl.

When the pasta is ready, pour the sauce over and flake in the salmon. Stir and gently heat for a further 2 mins, then serve straight away, topped with a mountain of rocket (and any other greenery you fancy), shavings of parmesan and plenty of seasoning. It will take you around 15 mins to make, yet is a truly scrummy and comforting supper.
