Introduction

This great recipe is from BettyCrocker.com, except I have tried to "healthify" it! :)

Did You Know...
Carbonara is an Italian dish of spaghetti with a sauce of cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese and bits of bacon.

Substitution
For an authentic Italian preparation, use pancetta instead of bacon. Pancetta, a cured meat, is imported from Italy and is similar to bacon. This great recipe is from BettyCrocker.com, except I have tried to "healthify" it! :)
