I love pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The ultimate pasta dish to me is carbonara.
The best part is the pasta gets coated with this creamy silky cheesy sauce and every bite is light yet has hearty flavor fun. I have a confession to make just amongst us. I used to not like eggs. Shhh don’t tell anyone! I am not sure why, but even as a kid when we would have birthday breakfast in our family I was the only one who chose bagels and lox. Everyone else chose bacon and eggs. As I got older I became more and more friends with eggs and we are now friends.
Since I was not an egg fan until recently, I never had creamy wonderful carbonara. My friend Amy asked me to make carbonara for her and (of course) if I was going to make carbonara it had to become a Chop Happy recipe! When I made the Kale and Bacon Carbonara Pasta my taste buds fell in love. It was so easy! All the articles I read said to be careful to not scramble the eggs. If you follow a simple technique of mixing cheese and egg before pouring it on to the pasta – you are all set!
Definitely try this recipe and watch the video so you can see my simple ways to make this in a snap.

This recipe looks absolutely delicious! I love how simple the ingredient list is—chorizo is such a great twist on traditional carbonara. I’ve always been a bit nervous about making carbonara at home because of the egg scrambling issue, so I appreciate the tip about mixing the cheese and eggs beforehand. I’ll definitely be trying this soon.
