To celebrate Father’s Day with my Daddio, I had him over to my house for lunch. While he caught up on current events with the four children, I whipped up a delicious five star meal…in no time at all! My friend Karen shared this recipe with me a few weeks back, and I have been waiting for just the right moment to make it.
Easy Spaghetti Carbonara
This recipe from Ruth Reichl’s website is so very easy to make. I only made one change to the recipe, instead of using whole slices of bacon i used some diced Pancetta that I had in the freezer from my favorite grocery store (Trader Joe’s). This lunch took me less than a half hour to put together, and everything was delicious. We had roasted asparagus with fresh grated Parmesan, and fresh grapes, all of which came from Findlay Market and we also had a baguette from Shadeau Breads to go along with the pasta. It was quite a feast! I love making a meal with ingredients purchased from local shops!
