Carbonara

Italian pasta dishes that are served with a sauce (Carbonara sauce) made with cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese, small pieces of bacon and vegetables, such as peas. Although any type of pasta can be used, spaghetti and linguine are most suitable with this sauce. The sauce is heated for several minutes until it begins to thicken. It is then spread over pasta that is very hot, enabling the eggs to continue cooking while the food simmers.
