Makeshift dinner suggestions???

We're kind of down in the dregs in the pantry department so I was
wondering what you folks think of my idea for dinner tonight.

Hubby's been out of work, so I have to use up what we have - going to
the store isn't an option. I'm leaning towards a pseudo pasta
carbonara. The ingredients I have are:

bacon
(only) 1 egg
about 1/2 cup of a block of parmesan cheese that I can shred
garlic
onion
butter
salt/pepper
Angel hair Pasta

Oh, and peas! I have frozen peas. Sometimes restaurants add that to
the dish. Do any of you? It's literally the only veggie in the house,
so I could also serve it as a side for dinner tonight.

Sadly, I have no milk or cream and no more eggs - aside from the one.
I'm considering making a chicken stock to boil the pasta in, though, and
add some of the pasta water to the butter and cheese to extend them.
I've got lots of chicken parts in the freezer.

Any thoughts, suggestions? Do you think this will work?

Input is appreciated!

Carpentry is slow in Florida these days. He has a job, but right now it's

A variation on pasta, ham and peas is what you are thinking.

While your pasta is cooking beat the egg in a bowl (can you bum one extra
from a neighbor?), add crumbled cooked bacon, hot cooked peas sautéed in
garlic and onions and butter, then add the hot pasta straight on top plus
about 1/2 cup pasta water, toss with the grated parmesan and you should get
a nice creamy and very rich sauce. No need to salt but a little pepper at
the table is nice.

Should taste good.

Save the chicken parts for soup.

What you have sounds fine; the original Fettuccini Alfredo was merely
pasta, parm and butter. Peas would only help it a lot. Then you have
an omelet of bacon, onion and egg for breakfast. Save the garlic
for a celebration. Use the salt/pepper gleefully on everything.

Andy

------------------------------------------------------
I really would like you to visit Detroit or in fact any city here in
Michigan and make this statement to any individuals face who has stood
in line for hours before daybreak for a few jobs @ the opening of a new
Wally World whose factory packed up and left overseas to avoid paying
union wages and insurance.

I like you to make this statement to MANY graduate college students who
come in to the family restaurant where my B/F works to put in
applications for ANY job opening because they are hungary & the illegals
have taken over the higher paying positions with college being paid for
by the government thus lowering starting salaries by hiring these people
making it impossible for the average AMERICAN citizen to make a living.

You would probably be shot right between your eyes.

Or perhaps asking his mom there for help? Or maybe she'll let y'all skip

A one egg omelet?

A one egg omelet would probably actually meet dietary guidelines and
standard portion size vs. the typical 4 egg omelet of doom which is
contributing the the obesity problem.

But perhaps not too generously for two? I think using it in the pasta
would have been a good use of it.

How about the poster "of doom which is contributing the the" literacy

Eggs are not the reason for obesity, rather it is mostly sloppiness
and lack of self discipline, the kind displayed in your post.

I'd cook up the bacon, onion, garlic and cheese and add butter to make a
cream sauce, then serve that over the angel hair pasta. ;-d
