*ITALIAN CARBONARA WITH LIGUINI, ASHTON STYLE #(120)

     Italian Carbonara is a pasta dish without tomato sauce with a distinctive flavor and is meatless making it a vegatarian recipe.  It also is an excellent and easy dish which does not have to be cooked for two hours as regular meat sauce requires.  I like it for lunch as well as for dinner.  I hope  you will try it and like it.
