Sicilian Spaghetti

"This is not for the faint of heart! I don't know where my Mother got this recipe but my 2 sisters my brother, and our families have always loved it! It is not for the calorie or the fat conscious, but it's definitely worth it occasionally! This was what Mom cooked when I brought my prospective husband to dinner for the first time. When he found out I knew how to make it, he was mine! :-) Serve with crusty hot bread and a nice tossed salad."

Umm Mmmm Good! We love Carbonara and this was fabulous! The ultimate comfort food! Serve with a nice green salad and you have a delicious dinner. Like the other reveiwer we will eat healthy all week so we can have this treat every now and then. I like lots of cracked black pepper on it too! Thanks for the recipe. :)

WOW! This is the ultimate "comfort" food.....absolutely delicious. My husband and I would eat "healthy" for a couple of weeks, just to be rewarded with this. If there were six stars available, I'd do that!
