My Ex-Girlfriend's SUPER CARBONARA

This has become the signature centerpiece dish
for every birthday party I've had since 1993.

Although my super ex-girlfriend and I parted ways
more than 8 years ago, her spectacular Carbonara
is still very much a part of my life.

The recipe is simplicity itself,
just take the time to fry up almost a kilo of BACON!!!
