  • Here’s how I do it:

    1. Boil pasta. Not exactly difficult.
    2. Throw some cubed bacon in a skillet with plenty of butter and a splash of olive so the butter doesn’t burn. Low heat.
    3. While all of that is happening, grate some Grana Padano. If you don’t have any, parmesan works fine and tastes nearly as good.
    4. Lightly whisk eggs.
    5. Throw the pasta into the skillet with the bacon and butter, and slowly add int the eggs and and cheese tour grated. Bit of pasta water won’t go wrong either. If you’ve eaten carbonara before, you’ll know when to remove everything from the heat. Shouldn’t take longer than 2 minutes.
    6. Black pepper and oregano if you’d like. Can’t go wrong with either.

    In total I’d say 25 mins of prep + cooking. Dishes to wash: a pan(with just pasta water, pretty easy to wash) a skillet, one grater, a bowl and a fork you used to whisk the eggs. And I guess the plates and cutlery you use to eat.

    Lazy enough to not make a crap tonne of things, but not lazy enough that I just microwave some ready-made meal. Imo, it fits the question.
