Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My blogging journey began about in August 2009 as a photo-a-day blog which has since transitioned to combine my love of good food and photography. Today, using as many local and fresh ingredients as we can, my boyfriend and myself spend time researching recipes, making our own adaptations, cooking, taking photos, eating, and finally reflecting on all or part of the above listed process here. I hope you take the time to not only read and look at our photos, but please cook some of the recipes yourself. You are invited and encourage to leave feedback as we continue our culinary journey!

Pasta Carbonara

Pasta Carbonara---a very popular Italian and also American dish. Almost every Italian restaurant in the USA has their own version. But, believe it or not, pasta carbonara is not a pasta in a cream sauce with bacon and spices...it is creamy, but, no cream is added at all to the recipe in an authentic version. So, here is a true Italian recipe of pasta carbonara. Try it yourself and see whether you prefer it with a cream sauce or how it is prepared here.

Spaghetti Carbonara
spaghetti noodles
freshly grated parmesian cheese
2 eggs
pancetta
pepper

Start by cutting the pancetta into small pieces and cook in a skillet with some olive oil. While cooking the pancetta, also boil some water for the spaghetti and begin cooking the pasta

Grate the parmesian cheese, add 2 eggs, and mix together for a creamy sauce.

When the pancetta is cooked and the spaghetti is prepared, add the noodles to the skillet. Make sure to keep the heat on, and pour in the egg and parmesian cheese mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, serve immediately, and enjoy.

EDIT: Daniele wants me to make sure that everyone also adds black pepper to this recipe!
