This is without doubt one of the top three favorite meals in this house. When Adam lived in Italy he lived on Carbonara and it's first on the menu when he's feeling blue. the ultimate in comfort food as far as he's concerned. Some lovely photos here, too. Glad to have found you, good luck with your delightful blog!
