This is what I can call a cupboard recipe. One day I had spare pasta and hungry and all I had were some eggs, cheddar, and canned tuna. And knowing that aunthentic carbonara means no cream, I knew I was onto something and bam! It worked.
I hope you enjoy this carbonara recipe as much as I and my family did.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Cook the pasta as per instructions and set aside.
2

While the pasta is cooking, mix together 2 egg yolks with grated cheddar cheese. You can put in as much cheddar as preferred, but for this recipe, I used enough just to allow the yolks to coat them evenly.
3

Heat a wok or frying pan on high. Drizzle some olive oil.
4

One the oil is hot enough, saute the garlic until aromatic. If your pan is hot enough, you should hear the garlic sizzle as soon as you put them in.
5

Add your tuna flakes together with the oil. Saute well.
6

One the tuna is aromatic, add in your cheese and yolk mixture. Stir well.
7

You will notice that your mixture will become creamy and have a thick cream-like consistency.
8

Add in your cooked pasta and mixed well. Sprinkle with dried basil as desired.
9

Add in salt to taste.

Enjoy your pasta! :)
