I made Pasta Carbonara Monday night.
So easy, so simple, so yummy....
I need to make it more often :>)

Merged these two recipes together:

I used cream and a combo of bacon and minced panchetta.
(lots of stores carry packages of minced panchetta in the meat dept/cheese case)

I really like your idea of merging the two recipes. I’m going to give this a try!

I saw packages of panchetta in the deli dept at our store. They have another Italian specialty back by their smaller lots of ham and Canadian bacon assortment. I'm pretty sure that's what I held looking at. Vacuum packed in plastic, imported from Italy.

They have some wonderful cheeses these days. I've eaten too much Port Salut; it's pricey and messy to get the orange stuff off, the outer orange. There is this triple creme Angel brand of brie or similar to brie. They are always out of what they package up, and I can't buy the whole wheel. I also love the Stilton onion and chive (they had some with blueberry, no thanks), but haven't seen my kind for a long time.
