Orzo Carbonara with Crispy Prosciutto & Burrata
Ingredients
Method
-
Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
-
Line a baking tray with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Lay the torn pieces of proscuitto in a single layer and cook in oven for about 10 minutes, until crisp.
-
Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk the eggs, parmesan, garlic, basil and chives.
-
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Before draining, scoop up about ¼ cup of pasta water.
-
Transfer the pasta to the same saucepan. Add the egg mixture and mix immediately to avoid cooking the eggs into a scramble.
-
Heat turned off, the eggs will cook with the heat of the pan. If necessary, add a little pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
-
Add the butter and spinach, mix to wilt the spinach and melt the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve in deep plates or bowls. Top with fresh burrata (whole or torn), crispy procuitto, fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Enjoy!
