This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Creamy Pancetta Pasta
This was that crazy recipe I mentioned a few days ago that was 3100 calories per serving. In order to not die for 600% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of Fat, I took the recipe and removed the spaghetti from the equation and then broke it down to something more manageable.
I do think this recipe is really for a large amount of sauce, and they added spaghetti to the recipe because they did it in the video. Once it broke down to 10 servings, I then added back an appropriate amount of spaghetti.
What I ended up with was a pretty good creamy parmesan sauced spaghetti. If you like parmesan, you're gonna like this cause it's got a MASSIVE amount of it in the sauce. Careful with the saly and pepper, the parmesan is pretty salty as it is.
Served hot, it's great and creamy. But if it cools too much the sauce will congeal due to the amount of cheese in it. Reheating it also didn't seem to work real well, coming out more oily than creamy. In the future, I'd make it for immediate eating, but not for meal prep.
Yes, the recipe really did say "Boom Skiddly Bop."
