Spaghetti with egg, bacon, and parmesan cheese.
The name carbonara comes from the Italian «carbone», meaning coal or charcoal, and some believe it was thought up by those who extracted coal from the mines in the Latium region (near Rome).

This was ok, and something different but equally as simple as just throwing jarred sauce on pasta. It does need to be served immediately after preparing though or it is not nearly as good.
great for kids
It tasted good, however I found it to be quite dry. Maybe a dash of olive oil or more butter would help for next time.
