Not many people here have heard about spaghetti carbonara; I asked some of my colleagues, they have never heard of it. I asked Jason, he too has never heard nor eaten it. I think most people here associate spaghetti with only tomato based sauces. In fact I was one of those people too until hubby introduced me to one of his favourite Italian food, pasta (any type you fancy; spaghetti, fetuccine, penne etc.) carbonara. Now it has become one of my favourite!Last Friday, I craved for spaghetti carbonara so I looked for authentic recipe on the internet. After gone back home I remembered still have some bacons left in the fridge; a check in the kitchen confirmed I have most of the ingredients. Therefore I decided to cook it on Saturday.
My spaghetti carbonara 🙂
It is a simple dish but tasted wonderful. I was really very satisfied with the result even though I substituted pecorino cheese with cheddar. It’s creamy but not overly so! I dare say it tasted better than served in some of the restaurants here 😛 Hahahah, praise my own cooking! *paiseh paiseh*

I only like oglio olio, less jelak… 🙂
5xmom, checked it out already, he sure can cook! and very nice photo too! His recipe uses cream, which a lot of restaurants here do too (to achieve the creamy taste & texture; some people find it jelak though); and the use of seafood (e.g. prawn, salmon etc) is the improvisation to the original recipe which uses bacon/pancetta.
suzette, check out the recipe link 😉
Ehh! It looks so complicated (to me)… I guess I will eat at restaurants ler. :p
