Spaghetti Cabonara with Peas

I used to post my food a lot, but with *gestures vaguely* my passion sort of dried up.
But today, the inspiration to make an old favourite hit me so I did.

All you need is
1/2 package of spaghetti (about 500 g),
1 1/2 cups cheap grated Parmesan cheese,
1 or more heads of garlic diced fine,
1 egg (if eggs are a luxury where you live, some heavy cream and olive oil will be fine),
100 g or so of diced pancetta or what ever salty meat you have on hand (frozen shrimp also works!),
1 cup of frozen peas

1. Cook pasta to al dente
2. Pan fry garlic and meat in a large skillet
3. Beat egg and Parmesan cheese in a bowl
4. Toss in peas when pasta has 2 minutes left to cook
5. Drain pasta and immediately add it and the cheese mixture to the skillet with the meat and garlic - toss vigorously

Serve with a tossed salad - if like me you are alone, this gives you a sumptuous dinner and a few days of lunches you don’t need to make

I don’t need your pity!

…otherwise, it serves 4.
