Spaghetti alla carbonara. Luscious and wonderfully indulgent, pasta carbonara takes as long to make as it does to cook the pasta.

The ingredients are simple—just spaghetti (or another long pasta), and the carbonara is made with pancetta or bacon, eggs, Parmesan, a little olive oil, salt and pepper.

The silky carbonara sauce is created when the beaten eggs are tossed with the hot pasta and a little fat from the pancetta or bacon.

Fall has arrived and with it, the pumpkin season! There are always plenty of pumpkins to carve up around Halloween time, and a great way to make use of the pumpkin seeds is to roast them for an easy, healthy snack for your family.

I love to eat them, my family does too, even with shells and all. If they're properly toasted and are small to medium-sized, they are wonderfully crunchy and easy to eat.
