Years ago, there used to be a regular poster here named Tommy. Tommy, if you still post, my apologies! He now has his own site called Tommyeats.com. Tommy talked about spaghetti carbonara in Rome at Ai Tre Scalini (Three little Steps {from The coliseum}). I think it included some mention of "hold the cream, I'm begging, ya". We visited Ai Tre Scalini a few years ago and Deb absolutely loved this dish there!
Tonight, I threw caution to the wind and took a long overdue stab at it.
We both loved it and I will add it to the go-to list with simple ingredient dishes.
