Tagliatelle Recipe

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.

Diet tips

If you really want to shed a few pounds and also enhance your overall shape, among other things you ought to undertake a thoughtfully planned sensible diet. If possible, this should include 5 portions of grains, cereals and vegetables every day and also embrace the optimum combination of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

In deciding on a weight loss program, you have to also make sure you regulate your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.

Dieters often look at retail store and big brand products labelled as 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly wrong, in that an item can be moderate in fats, but nevertheless dangerously high in carbohydrates.

Drink more water. Every now and then when going through a hectic day, you feel that you need a meal but if truth be told you might simply need a pure drink of water or orange squash. The sensations of hunger and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of them leads to weight gain and the other leads to no harm.

Rather than concentrating on the junk foods you need to eliminate from your weight loss program, look at the healthy foods that you should introduce to your diet. If you bring in some nutritious pulses and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel more full and have a far lower probability of being seduced by those detrimental mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
