This delicious and easy healthier take on spaghetti carbonara will have your family craving more! Perfect for baby led weaning as well.

Method

  • Whisk the eggs, cream, milk and parmesan and leave aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over a high heat, then add the mushrooms and stir until they absorb all of the oil. Cook tossing every few moments until the mushrooms become soft and turn a golden brown, then reduce the heat to medium, then add the diced onion and crushed garlic and cook until the onions start to turn translucent. 
  • Cook the spaghetti in a saucepan of boiling water as per the pack instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving about 125ml (1/2 cup) of the hot water.
  • Place the spaghetti into the pan along with the pureed carrot and reserved water and toss well until the spaghetti is fully coated.
  • Reduce the heat to low, then slowly pour the egg, cream and cheese into the pasta, stirring constantly until the egg turns into a glossy sauce.
  • Serve with a little grated parmesan for adults (omit for babies), a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves and grated black pepper.
