weekevie04 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I made penne CARBonara the other night. Pasta, cheese, double cream, bacon. Diet starts Monday . . . That sounds tremendous. I've been doing lots of good work with cardio - running/walking/ then eating shite at night. 9pm food curfew begins on Monday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind you could get a Double Big Mac in McDs in USA/Canada. And their large poritions seem to be about XXL the size of UK ones in fast food places like McDonalds.

thewelk Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Don't eat pasta after 9pm. Any leftover carbs in your belly when you ho to bed are turning straight to fat. I knew one girl on a health kick who instead of going for a kebab/chippy after 'the dancin' would be all responsible about it and go home for a more middle class munchies bowl of pasta. Weight gain 101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Apparently if you cool it & reheat it, it somehow becomes less fattening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29629761 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelk Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 No egg yokes? J Good point. Carbonara is eggs (not necessarily just the yokes), parmesan and bacon. No cream. Its actually quite a healthy dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Don't add peas. If made well, cream isn't really needed, the eggs yokes and some of the cooking water from the spaghetti can be used to make an emulsified sauce. When we first started travelling to Italy we noticed that they always use loads of pepper as part of the recipe, not just as a seasoning at the end. It is almost always foul in UK restaurants, but done well it is the business. Edited July 4, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick stein makes it this way, just eggs, grand padano pancetta or bacon with some added parsley. It is awesome. It's one of my favourite pasta dishes. So easy and unbelievably tasty. Give the video a look, only 3 mins but shows how he does it. Puts me in the mood for it tonight. Edited July 4, 2015 by flynnyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
