  1. Going to make this tonight! Eat one, freeze one! We love carbanara and the asparagus was nice and fresh at the store this week. Sub homemade pasta for boxed pasta and I think we’ll have a winner!

  2. Just learning how to cookandhappened to have all of these ingredients on hand. Score! Turned out awesome, cant wait to make again!

    1. Drained pasta water is more starchy which allows the sauce to thicken and stick to the pasta, which is why it specifies to use it in this recipe.
