Early this morning I was going through the freezer to see what I could cook later today. I came across a piece of thick bacon and had a sudden craving for some carbonara. I looked around the refrigerator and could not find any Pecorino Romano or Parmesan to make it so I started looking some more and found some fresh asparagus, mushrooms, and grated mozzarella so I thought that I could prepare some pasta dish inspired by a proper “Pasta alla Carbonara”. When I go prepare our meal around 3pm I will see how I get inspired in preparing it. I have been oscillating all day between a lighter style dish with just a bit of olive oil to make the sauce in the more traditional way to something heavier with lots of cheese and cream in a more Americanized version. Since it is around 30C (86F) in my office right now I will probably go with something lighter with the veggies added. I will report on it later with what I actually will prepare and some pictures.<\/p>\n
