Bucatini Carbonara for Two

While the rest of us were working on perfecting our instant ramen cooking skills in college, Chef Matt was practicing his bucatini carbonara game. He and his friends were on a mission to get it juuuuuust right: Sourcing expert tips and getting together every week to come up with the ultimate version. Yup. Every. Dang. Week. As he recalls, “It was the first time I really remember being proud of cooking and sharing it with others.” 

Awwwww. That makes us feel as warm and fuzzy inside as this bowl of bucatini. Seriously, is there anything more comforting and blissful than fresh pasta smothered in a luscious, creamy, bacon-and-black-peppery sauce? Not that comes to mind. Thanks, Chef Matt, we think you nailed it ;)
