Spaghetti Carbonara is always my go to comfort pasta dish. I have been making it since I was 16 and now my daughter has learned to make it. Salty, creamy, cheesy yum.

Our family's favorite pasta is fresh tagliarini (ribbon pasta) found in North Beach, San Francisco (or fresh organic noodles from our local market) with generous amounts of fresh, chopped garlic (5 cloves), butter (1/2 cube) and cream (1/4 - 1/2 cup)!!!! If there are leftovers, use the next morning and saute them until crispy, and top with two over easy eggs!!! OOHHH!!!
