Chef’s note from Echo

“This dish is a go-to for using up ingredients in the fridge. It’s an easy way to make a filling, delicious meal with things you already have. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers you don’t know what to do with. You can also cut it into squares, wrap them up and freeze them for easy morning breakfasts.“

Where did this recipe come from?

AMS Services held an egg recipe competition to learn about egg-based creations that are affordable, nutritional, and delicious! Acuitas Therapeutics is very generously sponsoring the purchase of all eggs for the AMS Food Bank during the academic year.

This winning recipe, titled “Carbonara” was created by UBC student, Echo Urban.
