Break the spaghetti into quarter, then put in a bag and smash to smaller pieces.

Cook the broken pasta in boiling salted water. Keep the pasta water when it's cooked for later use.

Finely chop the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Slice the bacon to 5mm strips.

Put the olive oil in a deep pan and fry the bacon strips on high heat.

Add the cooked pasta and 100ml pasta water to Step 4. Bring to the boil on high heat and add the cheese.

Mix with a wooden spoon and adjust to taste with the salt. Keep stirring until the liquid evaporates.

Add the finely chopped basil (leave one or two leaves aside) and mix in. Turn the heat off and transfer to a serving dish.

Sprinkle ground pepper over the top and garnish with the basil leaves.

Osso Buco

Osso Buco, which translates as “hole of bone” is pure meaty awesomeness. Placing on a bed of risotto or polenta pays tribute to Osso Buco’s roots and takes this Italian comfort food to another level. Traditionally, Osso Buco is made with veal but see how I make Beef Osso Buco, a carnivorous wreath.

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, Sous Vide

It can be difficult to make a perfect hard-boiled egg that has a creamy yolk and a tender white. Overcooking a hard-boiled egg, which is easy to do, results in a chalky and sometimes greenish yolk, a rubbery egg white and a slightly sulfuric taste. In this video I demonstrate how I use my sous vide to get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
