Brocolli Parsley Carbonara

My parents and my brother weren't in to eat dinner at home; so instead of reheating some food from the fridge or eating galunggong which I wasn't in the mood for, I decided to make and eat some pasta! I talked to my friend, Marg, about what would be nice to try and cook for the night, and she suggested this eggplant pasta she tried in the Avenetto restaurant in the Fort; however, she couldn't describe it well enough and I haven't tried it either. I decided to choose something else. Looking through the pantry I found that I had some ingredients perfect for carbonara! Now although I've seen and helped some friends make carbonara for a few times before, I've never cooked it myself, so looking through the internet, mixing and matching different carbonaras to what I had at home and my personal taste I came up with this recipe... and it was good! Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:
Spaguetti/Fettucini/your favorite pasta
Sausage cut into small pieces (this is supposed to be bacon but we didn't have any bacon that time)
Brocolli
Parsley (about a handful)
Garlic (3-4 cloves)
All purpose cream
Quickmelt cheese grated or cut in small chunks
Milk
1 egg (optional)
Butter
Salt and pepper


Directions
1. Melt about half a stick of butter in a pan. When it is very hot, add the sausage bits.
2. Fry sausage in the butter until it begins to crisp.
3. Lower the heat, and then add in the brocolli. (Don't put in too much. I actually just added brocolli because I felt guilty that my sauce was going to be so rich.)
3. Add in the cream and milk (about 1:2 ratio)
4. When the sauce starts to simmer, add in the cheese (1 cream: 1 cheese)
5. Let the cheese melt and stir so that all will mix together well.
6. Add the chopped parsley (just about a handful) and the egg(egg is optional)
7. Mix in the chopped garlic
8. Stir all together for a few minutes and season with salt and pepper.
9. Pour some over cooked pasta, sprinkle a bit of parmesan on top and tada! :D
