#01 – Creamy Carbonara

Ok here we are episode one: Creamy Carbonara. This is spaghetti and mushrooms in a sauce type thing.

Ingredients

You need all this stuff. Tofu is hard to get! I had to walk all the way into town so I stocked up on loads of it.

The measurements get kind of weird because the recipe is for four people and I’m just one person so, something like…

• Mushrooms 125g
  • The recipe said ‘portobello’ mushrooms but who knows what that is so these are just mushrooms
• 2 little bits of garlic
• Peas 60g
• Spaghetti 150g (this was too much)
• Marinade
  • olive oil 10ml (this is like 3/4 of a teaspoon whatever)
  • maple syrup 10ml
  • apple cider vinegar 10ml
  • soy sauce 2 tablespoons
• Sauce
  • cashew nuts 60g
  • almond milk 100ml
  • tofu 75g
  • yeast 5g

How Do?

How you do is this:

1. slice up the mushrooms
2. make the marinade, mix it all together
3. bake mushrooms at 200c for 25-30mins (thats what the book says but mine nearly burned so a bit less)
4. boil some nuts for 15mins
5. cook some spaghetti
6. put the sauce in a blender
7. vroom vroom
8. cook the peas
9. mix it all together in a pot stirry stirry
10. put some leaves on top if you’re taking a picture and want to show off
11. eat it

It was…pretty easy to make and would be a lot easier next time when I know what I’m doing better. Tasted ok but a bit boring.
