Carbonara 
Loading...
Spaghetti carbonara is an Italian dish that features pasta in a delicious parmesan-egg sauce. The name sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple to make. Traditionally made using pecorino romano cheese but I used parmesan cheese instead so that the ingredients will be an easy find especially if you are located in the Philippines.
