Carbonara.....

2 cups uncooked pasta

3 rashers bacon, diced
1 cup cream
1/2-1 cup of grated cheese
Masterfoods Carbonara recipe base

Boil the water for the pasta
When the water is boiled add pasta and cook until soft.

Heat oil in frypan.
Add the bacon and cook until crisp
Add in the cream, cheese & recipe mix altogether.
When the pasta is cooked add into the Carbonara mix.

You can also add in chicken, peas, onions.....

Shortbread.....

1 1/3 cups plain flour
1/3 cup sugar
150g butter, room temperature, diced

Put the flour & sugar into mixing bowl
Give a little stir
Put in the butter
Mix the butter and flour until it forms a dough around the blades.
Turn the dough onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth
Divide mixture into 2, I make mine into more of an oval shape, easier to roll later. 
Wrap each portion in cling wrap
Put in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.

 Preheat the oven to 150c.
Line baking trays with paper
Take one of the mixtures out of the fridge and unwrap
Roll between 2 sheets of baking paper until about 8mm thick
Press shape into the mixture
Place the shapes onto trays and sprinkle with extra sugar.

Then continue until all mixture is used up

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light brown.
Remove from oven
Cool on trays, if you need the trays for next dough, then you can slide the biscuits off the tray while still on the paper.

The thicker the dough is the less likely it is to break when picking up to put on trays to cook
I have also used this as a base for caramel tart, just make sure that you have greased the dish really well & line it with paper.
