  • Fact: few breakfast dishes require so little effort and yield so much deliciousness (recipe below). 💛  CAST IRON SKILLET DUTCH BABY  • 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• few zips of whole nutmeg (optional)
• 4 Tablespoons salted butter, plus more for serving
• powdered sugar, fresh berries or seasonal fruit  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F with a 12” cast iron skillet placed in the oven on the middle rack. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the whole milk, sugar, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add the flour, salt, and nutmeg if using, and whisk together until combined. It’s okay if there are small lumps in the batter.  2. Once the oven is completely preheated, remove the skillet from the oven and place the butter inside of the skillet, dividing it into 4-5 smaller pieces. Swirl the pan around until all of the butter is melted, completely coating the bottom and 1-2 inches of the side of the skillet. Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet and place the skillet back in the oven.  3. Bake the Dutch baby for 15-20 minutes until it is nice and puffy, golden brown in the center, and a deep golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and add another pat or two of butter to the top of the hot dutch baby. Top with a generous amount of powdered sugar with a sugar shaker, then with the berries or seasonal fruit. Serve immediately.

  • AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CARBONARA RECIPE  12 ounces rigatoni or spaghetti
4-6 ounces guanciale*
2 ounces pecorino romano or parmigiano-reggiano, plus more for serving
2 whole eggs
4 egg yolks
kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper  1- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.  2- While the water is coming to a boil, prepare and cook the guanciale. Trim off the skin and cut into roughly 1/2 x 1/2 inch squares. Bring a large dutch oven to medium heat and cook guanciale until crisp and golden brown, about 7-8 minutes, turning guanciale as needed to evenly cook, and remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove guanciale from dutch oven and set aside. Keep rendered fat in the dutch oven.  3- Once water is boiling, add pasta. Cook until just barely al dente (oftentimes 1 or 2 minutes less than package instructions). Pasta should be cooked but still firm.  4- While the pasta is cooking, prepare cheese and eggs. Finely grate 2 ounces of cheese and set aside. Crack eggs/egg yolks into a medium-sized bowl and whisk eggs until smooth. Add grated cheese to the eggs and whisk together. Just before the pasta is finished, remove 3/4 cup of pasta water from pot. Add 1/2 cup of pasta water to the egg/cheese mixture and whisk until smooth.  5- Bring reserved fat back to medium heat in the dutch oven and add pasta. Gently toss together for about 30 seconds, integrating the pasta with rendered fat.  6- Add egg/cheese mixture to the dutch oven and toss to incorporate with pasta. If the pasta seems too dry, you may add more pasta water, a tablespoon at a time. If the pasta seems too thin, continue to cook over medium heat for a minute or two, constantly tossing until it thickens (watch VERY carefully, too much heat or too high of heat will curdle your eggs). Once desired consistency is achieved (a silky, smooth coating) remove from heat immediately. Taste pasta to make sure it has an adequate amount of salt, and add more salt and toss if needed.  7- Serve immediately with copious amounts of cheese, fresh cracked pepper, and the reserved guanciale.  printable recipe here:  https://www.femalefoodie.com/recipes/da-enzo-al-29-carbonara-recipe/  #femalefoodie #carbonara #pasta
