I thought of this joke a while back and had to wait ages until I moved in and planned a recipe with leeks.
When I was getting the ingredients together for this dish, I grabbed the leeks and ran to the bathroom. Then I shouted to my dad that he'd better come quickly, the toilet had a "leek."
I. Love. Puns.
(no leeks were actually placed in the toilet)
So I'm pretty sure carbonara, by definition, has to include some sort of pork. So I had to modify the recipe a bit for me and the sis.
I was up late one night and stumbled across a random French man's cooking show where he showed me how to cut leeks properly. Pretty neat. They end up looking like this and you don't waste as much.
I couldn't find baby portobellos (or bagels for that matter) so I used regular ones. I don't think it matters too much...
Ta-da! Not much extra bits you missed, except for the RAW EGGS!
Also, Danielle made bread!! One of the reasons I love her. I can't, for the life of me, make a decent loaf. My sister, however, can make ten at a time with her eyes closed.
This was super easy to make. A bit of chopping, sautéing, boiling and you're done! I wish I would have cooked the leeks and the mushrooms separately because I think they require different cookings times and the leeks weren't quite done and Julia Child says you shouldn't crowd mushrooms. I was VERY concerned about the raw egg component of this cause it sounds kind of gross, but the egg actually cooks decently if you put it on the noodles in time while they're still very hot. Try it out with the bacon and let me know how it tastes!
Stuck to the script: I guess this depends on whether or not you think not adding bacon is a large sin or a small one. I think it's gross so I don't give it much weight, but I also added an extra leek cause I bought 3 instead of 2… so… 85%??
