Nostalgia Wins

A friend and I were out for some wine last night, discussing diving, food and Italy, when we went off on a full on tirade about pasta Carbonara. Where to find the best (I said Chelsea, friend said Rome duh), how to make it, and why we love it. I guess the discussion went for quite some time, because 3 bottles of vino went coming and going before realizing the time.

  5. ToT...I'm attempting to make carbonara this week. Are you sure you separate the eggs? The recipes I've seen keep them together, whisk, then poor over the hot pasta with some pasta water. Either way, I want to avoid scrambled eggs...
