Introduction

Tortiglioni alla carbonara. A good plate of pasta is always such a welcome dinner at our house. My son loves tomato sauce and only wants tomato sauce with his pasta. On the other hand, I have a liking for sauces.

It is obvious who won the debate last night as we did enjoy a great plate of Tortiglioni alla Carbonara.

The bacon is gently cooked with the onion until the onion is translucent. By sweating the onion all the flavor is embedded in the bacon. Adding white wine, not only will scrape the bits of bacon, it will intensify the onion bacon mixture. A must staple on every kitchens.

Taste before adding salt to the sauce as the parmiggiano reggiano is already a bit salted.

A nice side salad, vanilla ice cream with a cookie was perfect.
