Dairy Free, Gluten Free Carbonara Sauce

I have a difficult time using commercial foods with my food intolerances.  Over the years I have discovered shortcuts and simple recipes that are every bit as good as their dairy counterpart. This is an excellent Carbonara substitute, however I do warn those who are looking for a milk alternative with that milky taste that this is far from it.

Ingredients:

Bacon rashes
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon Tahini
2-3 cloves of Garlic
Cornflour
Cooked Pasta

Preparation:  Peel and crush the garlic.  Dice the Bacon rashes.  Heat the Garlic at a low temperature. Bring the pan to a med-high heat and begin the fry the diced bacon.  As the bacon browns mix in a little cornflour - not too much as this is the thickening agent for the sauce.  Stir in the Soy Milk and Tahini.  It is important this is done over a low heat as soy milk curdles easily.  After a few minutes if the sauce is not yet thick enough, add more cornflour and allow the sauce to thicken.  Strip through cooked pasta.
