Making my first Carbonara was a fun experience. While I was idly looking around the grocery store, I found this handy Carbonara sachet that promised me to be able to do an easy time cooking my first one, and it sure did. I was so excited when I had my day off and I immediately started cooking the pasta. While at it, I chopped bacon and ham and grated (cheddar) cheese. Although the recipe specified to use parmesan, I chose cheddar, for obvious reasons that I cant afford the former, lol. Anyway, all this time I was not sure if I'm doing the right thing. I kept on looking at the recipe to make sure I'm doing things correctly. Finally, after about 30 minutes or so, I had a taste of my very first Carbonara. And I have to say, it wasn't bad. Although the sauce was so rich because of the cream, it wasn't bad after all. I called my best girlfriend to judge my cooking and it passed by her standards. The best thing was, my father and brother loved it! We didn't have to keep leftovers for this because they kept on coming back for another serving. The same could not be said for my mother though, she's not much of a big pasta eater anyway. But coming from her, it passed her standards!
