KITTENCAL'S CLASSIC SPAGHETTI CARBONARA



Kittencal's Classic Spaghetti Carbonara image

This is a definite Italian classic --- the trick to perfect carbonara is to have your spaghetti hot and mix in the eggs very vigorously so the eggs will not scramble -- I most always add in some cayenne pepper for heat but that is only optional :)
