TOMATO AND ASPARAGUS CARBONARA
This is a very versatile recipe I found on "cooking light"- the recipe calls for tomato and asparagus with the pasta - but you can try bell pepper, squash, string beans, onion or mushrooms. Adding some rotisserie chicken chunks or canned flaked tuna fish, is great too! This is a great family quick and easy recipe.
