Fettucine Carbonara - WW

Fettucine Carbonara
6 ½ points

240 grams dried fettucine or tagliatelle
WW bacon 125 grams, finely shredded
1 clove garlic, crushed
WW sour cream, 250 ml
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 tbsp chives, chopped
20 grams grated parmesan (2 tblsp)

Cook pasta in boiling salted water following packet instructions or until tender. Drain & return to the pan.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 3 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan, set aside. Reduce heat to low. Add garlic to pan, cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add sour cream & cook 2 minutes or until heated through without boiling.

Remove from heat. Stir in egg yolk, parmesan, chives & half of the bacon. Season with salt & pepper.

Toss sauce through pasta. Scatter with remaining bacon.

Note: The heat of the pasta & sauce will cook the egg but I have omitted it from the recipe & it still tastes fine.

Herb & Garlic Lamb Shanks (for two) - Slow Cooker

Herb & Garlic Lamb Shanks (for two)

Two lamb shanks (the meaty ones)
Container of Vegetable Real Stock (pre made)
Garlic
Herbs

Fill the slow cooker about 1/3 with the veggie stock. Score the outside of the lamb shanks and rub crushed garlic into them, sprinkle on some herbs and some salt, I just use mixed herbs from a jar, but fresh ones would be even better. Place the lamb shanks into the stock. Cook for either 8-9 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high.
