Nana's Carbonara


 Friends this recipe is one of my most favorite foods. It is one of those to taste and to sight recipes that is more a guideline than a true recipe and I hope I have explained it well on the recipe card. Carbonara is a dish my mom would make and I made for my children. I LOVE it. It is sentimental and wonderfully reminds me of my sweet beautiful mom and everything good about her! When I need to feel her close I can make this and remember her easier. She was a brillant cook! She did it all and all very well when it came to food! Carbonara is also one that is hard to photograph because its mostly white but I hope you will give this a try anyway. I think you will love it! Have a great day!
