Spaghetti Carbonara with SMART Fibre Spaghetti

Recipe created by @the_healthy_diary

Cooking time: 15 minutes, serves 1

  • 70g Vetta SMART Fibre Spaghetti
  • 100g mushrooms, diced
  • 1 egg
  • 5g grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 5g light butter
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Spring onions or chives to garnish
  1. Cook pasta as per package directions. Make sure it's al dente. Save about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Combine the egg and grated parmesan in a bowl. Season with sea salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Heat a pan, add the butter and let it melt for 15 seconds. Add the garlic and onions and fry for about 1 minute until the onion becomes translucent.
  4. Add the mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds. Add the spaghetti and stir for a further 30 seconds. Add a little bit of the pasta water - about 2 tbs (the starch from the water will help with thickening the sauce).
  5. Remove pan from the heat, stir the egg mixture into the spaghetti and keep stirring for 1 minute to coat all the pasta, and to ensure the egg mixture stays smooth and creamy and doesn't scramble.
  6. Serve immediately. Top up with chopped spring onions or chives.
