Pasta Carbonara Crown Gratin
Equipment
Ingredients
PASTA
- 10 oz (300 g) elbows pasta shells (Cooked al dente)
CARBONARA SAUCE
- 16 oz (450 g) applewood smoked bacon (Thinly sliced, 17 slices for me)
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup (170 g) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp (30 g) heavy whipping cream
- Sel Gris Mill (Season to taste)
- Pepper Mil (Season to taste)
- 1 cup (100 g) Parmesan and Romano cheese blend (Shredded)
Instructions
- Place your Twisted Crown Flexipan® Mold on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.
- Preheat oven to 410F/210C.
PASTA PREPARATION
- Cook your pasta al dente as indicated on the packet. 6 minutes for me.
CARBONARA SAUCE PREPARATION
- Arrange the bacon slices following the design of your Flexipan®: Parting from the center and leaving the extra length of bacon hanging to the side.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and the heavy whipping cream. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste. Then, fold the Parmesan and Romano cheese blend. Add your Cooked Pasta and mix until it is all coated.
- Pour your preparation over the sliced bacon, gently pressing down. Then, fold back the bacon towards the center of your Flexipan®.
BAKE!
- Bake for 25 minutes at 410F/210C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your gratin from 20min). It is ready when the center temperature has reached 165F/75C.
- Once your Pasta Carbonara Crown Gratin is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 10min. Then, Unmold, serve and Enjoy with a Salad on the Side! Bon Appétit!
