Spaghetti Carbonara Recipes
Cheater's Spaghetti Carbonara — Traditionally, a spaghetti carbonara recipe has pasta, bacon, eggs, and cheese in it. I call this Cheater's Spaghetti Carbonara, because instead of bacon, it uses Sizzlean. Remember that? You'll be surprised at how good this spaghetti carbonara recipe really is!
Macaroni and Cheese Carbonara — If your kids balk at the idea of eating something with a name like pasta carbonara, tell them it's macaroni and cheese carbonara! There's definitely cheese in this creamy pasta concoction, and additional protein with the meat. It's a delicious dinner!
Spaghetti Alla Carbonara (Charcoal Maker's Spaghetti) — Some say that Romans invented spaghetti carbonara, others credit it to Umbrian charcoal burners; hence, the "carbonara" term. Whoever created it, I'm glad they did, because it tastes really good!
Papa Luigi's Fettuccine Alla Carbonara — Simple cooking techniques make this fettuccine alla carbonara recipe an easy dish for newbie cooks to prepare. Make a batch and invite your family over - have them bring the wine - and they'll be impressed with your culinary skills!
Pomodoro Recipes
Angel Hair and Chicken Pomodoro — This is a quick and easy recipe for a delicious taste of Italy! Substitute dried basil for fresh depending on what you have in the cupboard.
Bruschetta Al Pomodoro — For a unique spin on a pomodoro pasta sauce, try this bruschetta instead of the usual pasta. It makes a delightful appetizer or snack, and it's really easy to make.
Light Pasta Pomodoro with Lentils — A great source of fiber, iron, and folate, among other things, lentils make this tasty dish as nutritious as it is delicious. I like the smoked mozzarella better than the plain for this, as it imparts a wonderful, rich, nutty flavor. Try it, you'll like it!

Recipes for Spaghetti with Garlic
Spaghetti All' Puttanesca — This Italian dish is somewhat salty, given the olives and capers, and usually has garlic and hot pepper as well. It's quite good, particularly served with a nice glass of wine.
Casserole Spaghetti — Your whole house will smell divine when you cook this casserole spaghetti recipe. The sauce simmers for an hour, and it is so fragrant, you'll wish you could eat it all up right away!
