The second versus challenge. This time, Orechiette Carbonara, a fast and delicious weeknight meal.
First up, Broccoli: I wanted to green this dish to offset my feelings of carb-guilt. I puréed spinach to create a pesto that I cooked quickly before adding the pasta and egg mixture to combine. I ended up making way too much, but I ate it anyway so I guess I wasn't feeling that guilty after-all. : )
Next up, Prosecco: Although the original recipe called for leeks, I chose to skip them as I'm not a fan. But like my colleague, Broccoli, I needed to bring some green to this dish so I wilted about a cup and a half of arugula in the pan the bacon was cooked in. The best part was eating the 'little ears' that had bacon stuck inside them. Bacon makes everything better.

Versus: Lamb burger
The first versus challenge. The recipe Greek Lamb Burgers combines all the things you love. Lamb, mint, feta and spinach. It's key to get the right bun, something that won't rip the roof of your mouth to shreds.
First up: Broccoli's burger with a side of yam fries, and an ice cold glass of Peroni.
Versus: Prosecco's burger with a side of sweet potato fries and roasted broccoli.
