Growing up I enjoyed a book called "Six Ingredients or Less" which - you guessed it - featured recipes that used only six ingredients or less. Do you have a killer recipe or two that fits this theme?

Spices (dried or fresh) don't count. Bonus points if it is at least somewhat healthy.

Carbonara ...

Garlic Bacon Spaghetti 2 eggs Parmasen Pepper

  • Boil salted water and add spaghetti until aldente
  • Cook around 6 cloves of garlic in olive oil
  • add the diced bacon and cook until crispy
  • whisk two eggs, parmasen and pepper in a bowl
  • take bacon off heat and let pan cool down slightly
  • remove garlic gloves from pan
  • add spaghetti into the pan with bacon with a tablespoon of the water the spaghetti cooked in and mix
  • pour in the egg mixture into the pan with the bacon and spaghetti and mix
  • put spaghetti onto bowl and crack pepper and a splash of olive oil on top
  • eat the goodness

Notes: make sure the pan is not too hot otherwise the egg mixture will turn into an omelette which you don't want.

I have success going the route of adding spaghetti directly from the pan with the bacon (or guanciale if I happen to have it) right into a bowl with the egg/cheese instead of egg/cheese into the pan. Residual heat does a good job of getting egg to a creamy texture.
