Easy, Creamy Carbonara

Well it has been awhile since I have entered the world of blogging! My apologies to everyone - life has gotten in the way!!! I wanted to post this quick and easy recipe of my family favourite, Carbonara!

 

This recipe is so simple and easy to do! You can cook it in a big batch for lunches or large family dinners, or cook small quantities for fussy eating kids (we all know they exist!)

 

This recipe can be altered and things added or taken out - it is so easy and delicious you will be wishing you made more!
