Not many people here have heard about spaghetti carbonara; I asked some of my colleagues, they have never heard of it. I asked Jason, he too has never heard nor eaten it. I think most people here associate spaghetti with only tomato based sauces. In fact I was one of those people too until hubby introduced me to one of his favourite Italian food, pasta (any type you fancy; spaghetti, fetuccine, penne etc.) carbonara. Now it has become one of my favourite!
Last Friday, I craved for spaghetti carbonara so I looked for authentic recipe on the internet. After gone back home I remembered still have some bacons left in the fridge; a check in the kitchen confirmed I have most of the ingredients. Therefore I decided to cook it on Saturday.
My spaghetti carbonara :)
It is a simple dish but tasted wonderful. I was really very satisfied with the result even though I substituted pecorino cheese with cheddar. It's creamy but not overly so! I dare say it tasted better than served in some of the restaurants here :P Hahahah, praise my own cooking! *paiseh paiseh*

So, now where is the recipe? I love carbonara but never cook as hubby does not like anything too cheesey, except for when it is baked. And he claimed he likes Italian food *sigh*
