CSA: Pasta carbonara with arugula & watermelon salad
20 Aug
This classic Italian dish made of bacon, cheese and parsley was so scrumptious that I was really, genuinely sad when I was done and even wanted to eat it again the day after. I paired this pasta dish with arugula from my CSA share this week with some sweet, crunchy, seedless watermelon.
One thing to note – it’s important to time everything so that the sauce and the pasta are ready around the same time, as the heat from the pasta will help to cook the eggs. The water boiled too quickly for me, so I am suggesting that you start the sauce first, then make the pasta second.
A special shoutout to my cousins, who visited all the way from VA 
One of them did a great job helping me wash the arugula and dice the parsley, while the other did an even better job of helping by eating!
