Sunday Funday

Step Brothers is the pick for this Sunday Funday. It's a stupid humor about two brothers who are forced into a relationship because their parents are getting married. Starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, pictured above, who will have you laughing through the entire movie with their one-liners.
 Spaghetti Carbonara
Serves up to 4 to 6 people
1lb of Spaghetti (I used Fettucini because I prefer a thicker noodle)
1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Table spoon of Unsalted Butter
1 medium yellow onion minced (chop the onion while chewing gum and you will avoid tears)
3 cloves of garlic minced
4 ounces of Prosciutto diced
3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
1/2 cup of heavy cream (room temperature)
1/2 cup of grated Parmesano Reggiano cheese
fresh ground pepper to taste
Take a saute pan and over medium heat melt the butter and oil together. Once melted add onion, garlic, and prosciutto. Cook until prosciutto is crispy and onion has a translucent appearance. While the onions, prosciutto, and garlic are cooking mix together the egg yolk, heavy cream, and cheese in a separate bowl. Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente (firm not hard). Strain the pasta. Once strained place the pasta in the saute pan over high heat. Mix the everything together until coated and remove from heat. Take the whisked cream and egg yolk and pour over pasta. Mix the pasta well and serve. Enjoy!
