Made this last week and forgot how wonderfully satisfying this dish is and that you can have this on the table in about a 1/2 hour. I don’t know about you… but can you think of anything better than a plate of pasta made with cheese, bacon, and cream?  Carbonara is an Italian dish which is typically made with guanciale which is made from cured pork cheeks, you could also use pancetta but to be honest I substitute bacon in for this dish. Also, just so I don’t seriously tick off some Italian cooks, Carbonara is not made with cream, this is an American riff off this classic dish…so please…
