I've never even had spaghetti carbonara before but i thought I'd try it. This is now my favorite way to prepare spaghetti, though I used linguini. The family loved it!!

I loved this recipe. I haven't made Spaghetti Carbonara in a long time and it seemed similar to the one I used to make. It was just what I was looking for, tasty comfort food. Thanks for posting this one!
