Creamy Bacon Spaghetti Pasta Carbonara

 

I only had one question after I made this dish for the first time this week... Why the heck did I wait so long to make Creamy Bacon Spaghetti Pasta Carbonara at home?

This dish tasted great just the way it was but I think next time the only thing I will do different is add a couple of seasoned grilled chicken breasts to the sauce.  Oh yeah, that would be good!

Now, with that being said... the cooking process did freak me out when I first read so I decided to do it just a little differently from the original recipe that I found over at Just Get Off Your Butt And Bake.

I added a few ingredients, cooked the sauce longer than suggested and we were very happy with how it turned out :)

Creamy Tomato Tortellini Skillet

I didn't know that making homemade pasta sauce was so darn easy.

Why didn't I know this?  I have been stuck in a spaghetti sauce rut for my entire life and nobody even told me.  Darn grocery stores with their bottled sauces.

When I came across this recipe over at Semi Homemade Mom over the weekend I didn't know if my family would go for a homemade creamy tomato sauce with spinach in it.  We're a Pizzetti kind of family and I was pretty sure that if I told them what I was planning on making they would protest.  

So what did I do?  I printed the recipe and decided that we were going to try it no matter how much protesting happened.  It's was cracking me up how they kept asking me what I was making for dinner and I just kept telling them that it was Tortellini Surprise!  Score one for the sneaky mom... protest avoided :)

I'm glad I made the decision to make this recipe because we finished every last bit of it and it was really good.  Everyone decided that it was a keeper and we would definitely make this for dinner again sometime soon!

This is one of those dishes I can't make very often because I find myself eating it for breakfast, lunch & dinner for days!

It's funny that this simple dish gets such "rave" reviews.  I've made this and taken it to work and had people actually ask me to make it again, and again!  I've taken it to holiday dinners (my hubby has 7 siblings + their families) and everyone gobbles it right up!  We've served it to our dinner group friends.  We've served it at a baby shower.  We take this dish anywhere we can it seems like.

And the best part?  It's an inexpensive dish to make. Gotta love that ;)

It's pizza....  It's spaghetti....  It's Pizzetti!

A couple of years ago we were making one of our favorites, spaghetti when we realized that we didn't have any hamburger to put in it.  We're kind of weird and didn't just want to just eat noodles, sauce and cheese so my husband thought it would be fun to put pepperoni in it.

Glad he had that idea because Pizetti is so good!  

It's so much fun when you try new things and they turn out to be so good
