Spaghetti Alla Carbonara: A Lighter Version

Spaghetti alla Carbonara, a simple recipe of spaghetti, cheese, and eggs, has survived for centuries. The hot spaghetti "cooks" the eggs. Simple as this dish sounds, it can be trucky and if you aren't careful, wind up with spaghetti and scrambled eggs. photo credit: 12tomatoes.com What is the origin of the recipe? Nobody knows for sure. Clifford A. Wright examines some of the possibilities on his website. Despite all of the theories, the history of this historic dish is "vague," according to Wright. Still, it continues to be on restaurant menus in Italy and America. Unfortunately, Spaghetti alla Carbonara (which means coal workers' style), can be dry. To correct this problem the Williams-Sonoma recipe tells cooks to reserve some pasta water and add it to the spaghetti, if necessary. Other recipes call for dry white wine.

Classic Apple Crumble

What could be better on a cold winter's day than to come home to some warming apple crumble? This is one of those recipes, that although very simple, never loses its charm. In fact the simplicity is what I love about the crumble. By using the humble apple and covering it in the most unpretentious topping (a sort of loose pastry), you can create a dessert that nobody can resist. photo credit: essentially-england.com The trick for me is not to add sugar to the apples until they are cooked. I like to get the best out of their own sweetness and only add some if really, really necessary (to date, I have never added sugar to the apple filling). The other little trick I have, is to keep some apple back, uncooked, and only add to the pie dish before it goes in the oven, this means that you have some soft apple and also a little bit of crunch, only a little though.
