Recipes Every Man Should Know – Giveaway Winner!

Looking to give your oh so special someone some cooking tips? – we’ve got the perfect book for you! This book covers everything from Hearty Breakfasts to Sandwiches, Burgers & Snacks, Meat & Potato Dinners, Beer, Bacon & Bar Food and of course desserts to keep you nice and happy!

This is the perfect cook book for any guy. It’s sleek, easy to use and let’s be honest.. it helps you! 

Cause we all know:

•  Women think men who cook are sexy.
•  Guys like anything that involves fire, sharp instruments and meat. 

I took the time to test out the cookbook myself:  I made the mac & cheese, better than ihop pancakes & the pasta carbonara – delish! I even got stuck having to make a dessert for an impromptu dinner at a friends and was able to whip up the No Bake Cheesecake in about 10 minutes. This book is utter genius!

Here is the Pasta Carbonara Recipe  for you:

<15 minutes

4 servings, or 2 if you’re really hungry

• Meat, eggs, and cheese. Pasta doesn’t get any manlier than a good carbonara.
• 1 pound linguine, fettuccini, or thick spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 pound pancetta, chopped*
• 4 eggs
• A few dashes salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2⁄3 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

1. Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil and cook pancetta until lightly brown but still tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

* Note: Pancetta (Italian bacon) is available at Italian markets and delis as well as most supermarkets.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and black pepper; then whisk in cheese. Drain cooked pasta (reserving a little bit of pasta water). Working quickly (so eggs don’t cook), add cooked pasta to skillet with pancetta. Using some muscle, quickly and vigorously stir in egg–cheese mixture. If it seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Top with more grated cheese, if you’d like, and eat immediately.

Poor Man’s Pasta Carbonara: Substitute bacon forpancetta.
