Drop mixture closest to the middle as possible
Once all the mixture is in your cooking sheet
Pick it up and shake to cover the whole sheet
DO NOT STIR
Place in middle rack of your oven and set your timer for 8 minutes
Keep and eye on it after 8 minutes as you do not want it to bet a dark brown
you want to keep most of it golden brown
To check if it done look at the bottom of the sheet once again golden brown
We can roll up the sheet now but it is easier when the sheet is cooled down
Take a piece of aluminum foil and spray it down with cooking spray
Drop the sheet in the aluminum

Add 2 tablespoons of nutella and stir constantly
Once most of the nutella has integrated into the milk

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara




INGREDIENTS

1 Lb of Spaghetti (Fresh optional)
1 1/2 Lbs of Sweet Italian Sausage
2 Cups of Frozen Peas
1/4 Lbs of Prosciutto
1 Medium Onion
1 Tablespoon of Minced Garlic
5 Eggs
2 Cups Grated Cheese
1 teaspoon of Black Pepper

PREPPING
The trick to this dish is to have all the prepwork done so the cooking will go smooth as all can be

In a Small bowl take your 5 Eggs and scramble them with Pepper only 

Take the casing off your Italian sausages and place "meat"


Take your prosciuto slices and sliced them in half


Cube up a medium onion
SEE VIDEO
Place in bowl with Minced Garlic

Have everything at arms reach as now you are ready to cook.
 COOKING

Get your water and salt to boil in a Large pot
Drop in the Pasta
In a deep stainless steel deep frying pan on med/high heat heat up the olive oil

Once the Oil looks wavy in the pan (hot) drop in the Sausage

Using your spoong break up the sausage into smaller pieces
Do not worry if yhe sausage is sticking to the bottom when you all the pasta this will
 lift all that charbroiled flavor right into your dish

When the sausage starts to take color drop in the Onions and Garlic

Mix all until the onions like always start to become translucent
Drop in straight from the freezer your 2 cups of peas
(you want the consistency of the peas that is why you don't want them
thawed of from a can)


Mix peas in

After the peas start to loose the white (Frozen) color drop in your
Prosciutto and fold them into your mixture

By this time your pasta should be done to your consistency

Being VERY CAREFUL transfer the cooked pasta from the boiling water into the pan
(do not strain the pasta as you want some of the liquid to lift the charcoal flavor)

Add the mixture of Eggs and Black Pepper
Mix in the heat for 1 minute
(this will help the Eggs not be as runny)

Take off the heat add the Grated Cheese and mix
You may serve family style


Or by dish
 
Either way Try it and ENJOY
