Spaghetti Carbonara

Bacon & eggs become elegant coating strands of long spaghetti. The ingredients are often at home, except maybe the prosciutto. But, if you have regular bacon, pancetta or even ham, that works as well. Gluten-free spaghetti works for this recipe too.

The dressing is simple and therefore best if using the highest quality ingredients. Freshly ground black pepper and a fruity extra-virgin olive oil will make this salad incredible as you can taste each flavor.
