Pasta Carbonara Recipe
I love this dish. It’s simple, fast, and you can make it with just about any pasta you have on hand. As the picture shows, I made it with raviolis but you can make it with spaghetti noodles, farfalle (bow-tie), penne, with chicken or sausage, the combinations are almost endless.
Check out the price per serving, $1.56! I have recently seen this item on a local restaurant menu for $9.99 and an extra $2.99 for added chicken and up to $18.00 for the addition of shrimp. That is just too rich for my blood.
