what is the bacon mixture in The Olive Garden chicken and shrimp carbonara recipe?
the recipe says 1 cup bacon, mixture but doesn’t explain what this is?
Carbonara is easy to make.
You need:
Bacon
Parmesan Cheese
Heavy Cream
an egg
Cooked pasta
Skillet
While the pasta is cooking, chop the raw bacon, and cook it in the skillet. When it is done, drain the fat. When the pasta is done cooking, drain it, and add to chopped bacon. Add a touch of cream, the egg and parmesan. You want to move the pasta around while you do this, you want the egg to thicken the sauce, not cook and become scrambled eggs…
Use cream to make the sauce to the consistency you like…
Add shrimp and chicken(cooked of course)
Remember, Olive garden is basically McDonalds where you sit down and tip the server.
All OG food comes frozen, and is thawed and prepped to order. All sauces come in big bags, and thawed and used as needed. Nothing is made there fresh, other than the salad. The dressing, of course, comes in big buckets.
Carbonara is one of the easiest pastas to do, but not that easy to master due to the egg…
Good luck!
