Creamy carbonara is made with basic ingredients found in most fridges, which makes it the perfect weeknight meal when you still haven’t made it to the grocery store. Eggs, cheese, and spices are mixed with hot pasta to make a creamy and velvety pasta sauce. Topped with our Vera Cruz chili oil, this pasta dish will get you going back for seconds.

Recipe Note
If you don't havePasta Rocks on hand it is still important to season your pasta water! Salting the water is the only time the pasta itself is going to be seasoned so make sure your water is salty like the sea. We recommend adding 1 Tbsp of salt for every 4 quarts of water.
