RECIPE: Easy pasta carbonara

Try this pasta with prosciutto instead of the more often used bacon. Or for a vegetarian version, zucchini or mushrooms work well too.

One of the beauties of Italian food is its simplicity - and they don't come much easier to prepare (or enjoy) than this delicious pasta dish.
