Creamy Pasta Carbonara

INGREDIENTS:

425 grams Spaghetti Pasta
2 cans Campbell Cream of Mushroom Soup
250 ml Nestle Cream
250 grams Ham (cut into strips)

4. Add 2 cans of Campbell Cream of Mushroom Soup.

5. Stir in 1.5 cans (use Campbell Can) water.

6. Add the Cream, and mix well.

7. Pour sauce mixture over spaghetti pasta and top with bacon.


NOTES:

This was the very first carbonara that I made and I swear it is very delicious! I wonder why my housemates do not help me eat it, I am having a hard time finishing it all actually, what with the 425 grams of pasta haha! I bet my housemates are used to eating the American spaghetti, with the sour red sauce because there was this one time when I cooked the sweet Filipino style spaghetti, I noticed that they didn't like it too. There's approximately two more servings left in the fridge and my goal is to finish them today.

I got this recipe from Pinoy Food Blog. I made a little alteration to the original recipe by bringing down the water to 1.5 cans instead of 2.

I rate this 5 out of stars. Highly recommended!
