A most delicious pasta with carbonara sauce courtesy of Cookng with Amy. I highly recommend this pasta dish.

Carbonara is a sauce featuring egg, bacon, and/or grated cheese. Original carbonara recipes never called for the addition of cream, although recent recipes include it. Amy’s recipe does not include cream, and I love the carbonara sauce without it.

Update: I’ve found a good combination for the carbonara sauce one box of rotini or other pasta to be 4 eggs and 2/3 cup of grated cheese - or more, until you reach desired consistency.

A Baked Mac & Cheese recipe courtesy of Help! I Have a Fire in my Kitchen turned out pretty well. Positively the simplest thing in the world to make, and it tastes way better than Kraft boxes (although Kraft you don’t have to wait for it to bake :o).

I used a mild cheddar and olive oil rather than butter. It was fairly tasteless, so next time I’m going to use a stronger, more flavorful cheese. I acquired some jalapeño cheese not long ago - that would be delicious! I’ll probably modify the recipe to mix in more cheese with the noodles, as the recipe called for 1 cup mixed in and 2 cups poured on top, leaving for less cheese than I would desire.

Confectioner’s sugar and powdered sugar are the same thing. There is no difference. So, there you have it. Why can’t we all just be unified in our naming conventions?
