Spaghetti alla Carbonara – recipe link
I have to say that I’ve learned quite a bit from my Project Foodblog experience:
-Step-by-step pictorial blog posts get the attention of more readers – probably because they are more helpful
-Taking time to set up a true photo shoot for a meal can produce amazing results
and
-Making a good cooking video is easier said than done
What I enjoyed most about the experience was getting to know myself and my new limits and being introduced to new recipes.
This recipe is one of those recipes. For years I had considered making it, but often decided against it because of lack of knowledge. So, when bell’allimento made a cooking video for Project Foodblog demonstrating just how simple it was, I had to get right to it.
First I dug out the bacon that we smoked with some friends last winter, then rummaged through the refrigerator for the other ingredients – which most of us would always have on hand. I used Pecorino cheese instead of Parmesan because my son is lactose intolerant and can only eat goat and sheep cheeses – Pecorino being a sheep cheese. And, I whipped this recipe up in a mater of 20 minutes. It’s quick and delicious.

One of my favourites Nicole. We would think that it is high in calories but the creaminess comes from the eggs..and the homemade smoked bacon is the icing on the cake…or pasta in this case.
This looks so good! I also wanted to let you know that I posted my link for your Roasted Taco Salad for Taste & Create. Great dish!
