pasta carbonara
(2 ratings)
This is a creamy Italian recipe that I found in the October 2011 issue of 'Woman's Day' magazine. Note: As in many carbonara recipes, the heat of the pasta in this one cooks the eggs, but not fully. It may be best for children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems to avoid eating this dish.
