Weeknight Dinner: Pasta Alla Carbonara

This is one of the very first recipes my mom taught me how to make as a kid. I’ve always loved pasta so much, and this is the most decadent and easy weeknight hour.

When I moved away for college it was one of the first dishes I made in my kitchen, and it’s still one I make often today.

Of course, everyone has their own recipe for it, and this one is far from the classic but still so so delicious.
