Creamy Carbonara Pasta with bacon

Today for my son’s birthday, I prepared Italian night for him as he loves eating Italian food such as pizza, lasagna, pizza etc.

For Lasagna, I used the trusted recipe that I tried many times before.

This is my first time cooking carbonara sauce as I prefer tomato-based pasta.   I used bacon as it is well liked by my son.  

This egg-based Creamy Carbonara Pasta turned out not too bad and the fussy son was not complaining.  Personally, I think I should make it more saucy.

This is the 1st year we celebrate their birthday without the other bubs.  Hope she has a blast on her 21st birthday.

Happy birthday, kiddos.
