Budget Pesto

1 kilo cooked pasta of your choice
2 cups basil
1 bulb garlic
1/2 cup cooking oil
1 1/2 cup cheese
3 packs of Nestle cream (small)
6 chicken breasts

Chicken:
Marinate chicken breasts in 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper. Fry or grill. Let stand for 5 minutes before chopping.

Manual:
Chop a bit of basic and garlic, add some more ingredients, chop some more. Chopping both ingredients in bits allows you to make sure that both ingredients are fine-chopped. It takes time, but the over-all consistency is worth it. Put the chopped mixture in a pan and add the oil, cream and cheese. Heat the pan (low flame) until cheese melts, pour on top of the pasta.

Food processed:
Finely chop basil and garlic in a food processor or chopper, slowly adding the cooking oil in a constant stream while the basil and garlic is being processed. Put the chopped mixture in a pan and add the cream and cheese. Heat the pan (low flame) until cheese melts, pour on top of the pasta.

Bacon Carbonara

I remember cooking bacon carbonara for my agents on shift last Christmas and New Year. Well, I can't remember a recipe unless I cooked it again.

1 pack 250g spaghetti
1 can nestle creme (300g/10.5oz) or 2 packs all purpose cream (250 ml)
1/4 kilo bacon, chopped
4 drops of tabasco
1/2 cup of grated cheese
1 egg yolk

Cook spaghetti noodles as per instructions. Drain well. 

While cooking noodles, chop bacon into 1/2 inch length or to length desired.  Once bacon is cooked (I don't like my bacons toasted, just cooked), turn off heat. Add cream, cheese, egg yolk and tabasco.  The tabasco won't make the pasta spicy, it'll add a different kind of spice to it, so don't put too much tabasco. Add spaghetti and mix well. Serve hot.
