Reeeal lazy today... Egg and margarine cooked in the heat of freshly-cooked pasta. Salt and pepper. It was like a cross between Carbonara and Hollandaise.
Well, I liked it. First, I'm never going back to pre-packaged carbonara sauce ever again. Second...I'm never giving up pasta again. What have I been thinking these past few days, this cutting out carbs nonsense?
And egg-based sauces are technically protein anyway, especially with a bit of cheese along with the pepper...I'll try this again with cayenne pepper and some cheese, maybe some real butter. I wonder if there would be a name for that sauce. If not, I'll call it either Carbondaise or Hollanara.
Also, I boiled the pasta in the metal strainer, in the pot. That's how lazy I was. So, I just had to lift the strainer out by hand (wrapped in a towel, with the help of some tongs) and all the pasta came out with it, already drained. I also cooked this pasta double-covered (with a smaller cover over the strainer, and a bigger cover over the bigger pot, and it didn't spill over.
