Tagliatelle
15 oz tagliatelle
3 oz butter
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp parmesan, grated
6 tbsp double cream
4 oz bacon (chopped)
1 salt
1 pepper, freshly-milled


Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add some salt and a few
drops of oil and cook the tagliatelle for 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt about 1 oz of butter in a small pan and cook the
chopped bacon for 3-4 minutes.

Beat the egg yolks together with the remainder of the butter, the
Parmesan cheese, the cream and some freshly-milled black pepper.
Drain the tagliatelle and put it back in the pan quickly so as not to
lose heat.

Add the bacon and its juices to the pasta, pour in the egg and cream
mixture and toss well. (If you've done this quickly enough, the heat
from the pasta will cook the egg yolks to a creamy sauce). Season
with salt and pepper if desired, then serve with more Parmesan.

Serve accompanied with green vegetables such as courgettes (zucchini)
or leeks, or with a green salad.

NOTES:

* Tagliatelle with bacon and cream -- A quick yet rich recipe,
originally published in the recipe column in _BBC Radio Times_
magazine.

* For aesthetic reasons, green tagliatelle looks best when served.

* "Double cream" is a product not normally available in North
America. It has 40 percent butterfat; "whipping cream" has 30 percent
butterfat. If you make this recipe with whipping cream instead of
double cream, then use about 1 T more butter.

: Difficulty: moderate (timing is critical).
: Time: 15 minutes.
: Precision: measure carefully.

Losing weight

If you want to regain your youthful figure and better your general healthfulness, then, as most people know, you ought to undertake a thoughtfully designed wholesome meal plan. At best, this must contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and also contain the right mixture of protein, carbs and fats.

When planning a diet, the most important step is to make efforts to decrease intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When chosing foods for dieting, dieters frequently look at retail store and brand name products described as 'low in fat'. This is ordinarily foolish, insofar as an item may well be moderate in fat content, but whilst still being dangerously high in carbs & calories.

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then during a busy day, you consider that you want a snack but if truth be told you may just want a pure tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are close, albeit one leads to weight gain and one does not.

Rather than dwelling on the many food types you need to ban from your meal plan, direct your attention to the "good" foods that you can add to your meal plan. If you manage to introduce some healthy fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a far reduced risk of being seduced by those unwholesome afternoon nibbles.
