Spaghetti alla Carbonara

I ate my first dish of spaghetti alla carbonara more than thirty years ago in a small restaurant in Marina di Pisa. I was immediately addicted and probably had that dish 2-3 times a week for more than a year. This was the first dish I made from the Gourmet Cookbook and I was immediately transported back to Italy. Lovely, easy dish that makes a great and quick weekday meal. An arugula salad with a simple lemon vinaigrette is my favorite side for this dish.
