Spaghetti Carbonara was one of the first meals I made where I diverged from my mother’s recipe.

It was not until college that I realized that though bacon is passable, an authentic Spaghetti Carbonara recipe never includes onions and the creaminess does not come from some generous pours of heavy cream.
