MY FAKE PASTA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Heat an empty 9 x 12 baking dish or serving dish (I prefer pyrex for this, you can see under it to make sure the ingredients are mixed) in an oven at 250 F.
• Fry the bacon until well done, crumble into a medium to large bowl.
• Reserve the fat for later use if you'd like.
• Either by hand or with a food processor, finely mince the black olives and combine with the bacon.
• In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until cooked through.
• Combine with the bacon/olive mixture and set aside.
• Beat the eggs and cream together until well combined but not frothy.
• Meanwhile, boil the fettucini in about 6 quarts of boiling water, 6 minutes for fresh fettucini, about 12 for dried (a little less if you like al dente).
• Drain well.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven.
• The next step sort of has to be done quickly: Dump the pasta into the baking dish and toss immediately with the butter.
• Pour the egg and cream mixture over the pasta and toss to coat, enjoying the sizzling sound you hear.
• Add the sausage/olive/bacon mixture and parsley, and toss to combine.
• Add the parmesan cheese and toss again to combine.
• Serve immediately.
• This pasta keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
• This is a good thing, because as everyone knows, the thing about Italian food is, you eat it and you're hungry again 20 days later.
