So the other day my sister and I made spaghetti with spaghetti squash. I sent her to the grocery store and she didn't quite understand what size squash to buy for the 2 of us. She bought a 6 pound squash! Needless to say we had A LOT left over...so I froze it! It was so nice because all I had to do was take it out of the freezer and heat it up in the microwave. The only weird thing about it was that it was that it had a lot of liquid in the pan after heating it up. All I did was put it in a colander and drain all the liquid. Anyways, this recipe was super easy and quite tasty! It is fun trying new things so I hope you try this one!

Traditional Pasta Carbonara is a family favorite by far! This recipe does not really taste like it at all. But, that could have to do with the fact that you don't use all the fatty ingredients in this recipe that you do for the traditional dish. Although it doesn't taste the same, this dish is very good! I highly recommend it to others and will probably make it again!
This looks great! You should have a dinner party and serve some of these awesome dishes.
