On Saturday morning I was out running some errands. I called my wife, and asked the big question, “What do you feel like eating today?”. She immediately said “pasta”. Ok, I thought, pasta, but there are so many different ways to make pasta. I had to chuckle as when I popped that question, I thought she was going to say meatloaf like she normally does, so I was a bit relieved. After a brief pause, she said “You know the kind you make with the cream sauce, bacon, and peas”. I replied with “Pasta Carbonara?”. That was the ticket, however, as much as I wanted to make that dish, I had lasagna on my mind when she first stated she wanted pasta. So I asked her if she would meet me half way, and I would make a lasagna carbonara. When I first thought of the dish, I thought to myself, that one it work, and two, it would be really awesome. As I had to make a few twists in the sauce, it was well worth it. An awesome cheesy cream sauce really brings this dish up to one of those top ten dishes, hands down. Oh yeah, and it has comfort written all over it, multiplied by three!
