Quick Pasta alla Carbonara with Peas and Bacon

This Pasta alla Carbonara with Peas and Bacon a favorite quick, easy and inexpensive comfort food that's ready in less than 30 minutes.

When I think about Italian food, certain iconic recipes come to mind, like Linguine alle Vongole or Lasagne Bolognese. Pasta alla Carbonara is another one.

Like Cacio e Pepe, Pasta alla Gricia and Bucatini all'Amatriciana, Pasta alla Carbonara is a traditional pasta dish that originated in Rome and remains popular there today. 

This version of pasta alla carbonara isn't totally authentic because it's lightened up with the addition of fresh peas. I love the bright green pop of color and earthy, springy flavor that they add to the dish. I also opt to make it with American smoked bacon rather than guanciale, which is typically used in a traditional carbonara recipe. I love the smoky flavor, plus, I always have some on hand. 

This easy pasta carbonara recipe is great for those nights when when you're short on time and/or ingredients. It's the perfect recipe to serve the whole family, especially with a light side like sauteed spinach or shaved asparagus salad to make a complete.
