Last week I made Pasta Carbonara from Woman's Day magazine. I served it with Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets - check previous posts for that recipe.
I was excited when I found this recipe because I already have all the ingredients for it. I did not have linquine noodles, only angel hair so mine really turned into pasta carbonara balls. As I got to the end of the recipe I found the egg yolks are not cooked! They are tossed on top of the hot pasta. I am not a fan of uncooked eggs but I figured since I am putting on top of hot pasta it must be good enough. Well, Tony woke up with the shits and I was vomiting the next morning. Tony did love the meal and it did not stop him from eating it again that night but at least it was heated in the microwave so it was safe to eat that go around.
If you are willing to risk the shits here is the recipe.
