ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti (or pasta of choice)
- 5 ounces silk soy coffee creamer
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 large garlic clove (or two small-chopped small)
- 1 medium onion (chopped small)
- 5 slices turkey bacon (chopped small)
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (I didn't add the chipoltle chili)
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon margarine (I used vegan)
- salt and pepper
directions
-
For the Sauce:
- Cut up the onion and garlic into small pieces and saute in the oil and margarine for about 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped bacon, liquid smoke and Adobo sauce. Saute until the bacon is cooked. This won't take long as turkey bacon is very lean.
- Taste it -- you should always taste what you make!
- Add the silk creamer and the parsley and simmer to reduce the cream. Add more if you prefer. Make sure you taste this again and adjust for seasonings.
- Set the sauce aside.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- When the pasta is cooked add it to the Carbonara Sauce and give it a really good toss. You want to get every noodle coated.
- Sprinkle with a little Romano cheese and dig in!
- Bon Appetit!

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
