FETTUCCINE CARBONARA
When a man at church found out how much my family likes fettuccine, he shared his Italian grandmother's carbonara recipe with us. I've made it my own over the last 25 years. Grated Parmesan cheese works just as well as Romano. -Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

This is a recipe that I created by modifying my mother's recipe. My boyfriend is a fettuccine Alfredo connoisseur and he scrapes the pan every time! I get nothing but rave reviews when I make this dish. I must warn you, this recipe is not for the health conscious. Enjoy!

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO CARBONARA
This is a home concoction we refer to as "Death on a Noodle". It is very heavy, but also filling and absolutely delicious. This can be a meal of its own, or a side dish for many people. There are some good stir-ins, such as sliced cooked chicken breast or fresh snow peas, that can be added in the last 5 minutes of simmering. It is important to use a wide, shallow pan because it will help the cream cook down and thicken. If you need to use a deeper saucepan, increase the cooking time in the step to simmer the cream.

Steps:
- Heat a 10-inch skillet (at least 2 inches deep) over medium heat.
- Slice the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the bacon in the skillet.
- While the bacon is frying, heat the cream (but not to a boil.) This can be done either in the microwave or on the stove top.
- Once the bacon is crisp, drain off all but 1-2 tbsp of the grease from the pan.
- Pour the cream over the bacon.
- Add a few grinds each of black and white pepper, and some crushed red pepper. A quick sprinkle of red pepper will add some flavor -- for a little more spice, use 1-2 teaspoons.
- Bring the cream to a simmer, and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the cream sauce is simmering, boil water and prepare the pasta according to the package directions.
- When the pasta is done and drained, toss with the tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter has melted, pour the cream sauce over the pasta and toss to coat.
- Serve with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh pasta, good quality Parmesan cheese, and real butter.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce should coat the pasta evenly and not be too runny. If the sauce is too thin, you can add a little more Parmesan cheese or butter.
- Serve the dish immediately. Pasta Alfredo is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently in a saucepan over low heat.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy sauce and tender pasta, it's a dish that everyone will love. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, Fettuccine Alfredo is sure to be a hit.
