Pasta alla Carbonara

One of the best things about having friends stay is that you learn new ways to cook old things. Spaghetti alla carbonara was one of the first main meals I learnt to cook. And I was very proud that it wasn’t done in the usual Australian style, with each strand coated with gluggy, heart-attack-inducing cream. Most recipes I’d tried felt as though something was missing. And as I learnt last night, what better way to fix a dish, than to add masses of heart-attack-inducing cheese.
