Pasta Carbonara

There is nothing in the world that is more satisfying than good comfort food. No matter where you are pasta is a wonderfully satisfying meal. When we wanted something to eat late at night that was easy I would make this recipe. It’s rich and comforting like a warm blanket. Warning, this is not for the weight conscious.
