Carbonara wee!

Monday, November 27, 2023 | 40 Views |

It was the end of a pretty tough week. To make it feel better, I knew I wanted to prepare a lovely meal. Something that’s not so usual for us, something delicious that I knew the whole family would enjoy, even the picky eaters like the second born (Shalom).

What is Carbonara? I’m not sure where I had it for the first time many years ago, but I believed it to be one of the most amazing pasta dishes I had ever put to palate. The next time I had it was at Mo’s Kitchen during a restaurant review and again it knocked me right off my feet.

Oddly enough, I have only ever prepared it maybe twice, yet it is a pretty easy dish. I’m yet to make pasta from scratch, so for now I can honestly say it comes together in about 30 minutes and is the perfect stress free weeknight dinner. You are in for a real treat with this one.
