Tips from the kitchen
- Give the falukorv room in the pan. Crowd it and it steams instead of browning, so use a wide pan and let the half-rounds sit a minute before stirring.
- Start the pasta water before you slice anything. The sauce mix and the frying both go fast, so the pasta is usually the slowest part.
- Keep about half a cup of pasta water before you drain. If the carbonara sauce ends up thick, a splash loosens it back up.
- Cook the onion a touch longer than the falukorv if you want it soft and a little sweet. The sausage browns quicker than the onion goes golden.
- Stir the sauce into the hot pasta right away while it's still steaming. It clings better than if the pasta has cooled and stiffened.
Ways to vary it
- Swap the red onion for leek if you want something milder. Slice it thin and it softens fast in the margarine.
- A handful of frozen peas stirred into the pasta at the end is an easy way to get some green in. Optional, but the kids tend not to notice.
- If you like a bit of bite, add some sliced bell pepper to the pan with the falukorv.
Storage & leftovers
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container. The cream sauce can split a little when frozen, so I'd skip the freezer with this one. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave with a splash of milk or water to bring the sauce back together.
What to serve with it
A simple green salad on the side is all it needs. Some crusty bread is nice too if you want to mop up the sauce.
