Pappardelle 'Carbonara' with Asparagus and Herbs

Traditional carbonara is made with egg yolks, pancetta or guanciale and lots and lots of grated Parmesan cheese. Think of it as a deli-style bacon, egg and cheese in the form of a Roman pasta dish. This recipe is a fun take on a classic carbonara that celebrates the fresh flavors of spring. This is a fabulous weeknight dinner using pantry staples that comes together quickly while still feeling special. You’ll find the staples here, along with spring-forward ingredients including asparagus, basil and chives.
