We love love love LOVE pasta dishes at our house, all kinds of pasta dishes, and when I eat out I love to try new pasta dishes. Can you believe that until 6 months ago I had never had carbonara?? CRAZY! it’s creamy, delicious and SO EASY to make. It’s become a staple at our house, esp since it only takes 10 mins to make!
And the best part? only 5 ingredients, all stuff I always have around and thankfully my kids love it! So when American Beauty pasta reached out to me to share their new Non-GMO project verification I jumped at the chance. I mean pasta AND feeling better about feeding something to my kids. LOVE! 37 of American Beauty’s pasta products – from ziti to spaghetti to rigatoni – are now Non-GMO Project Verified, the most trusted sign that a product is produced through best practices for GMO avoidance.

Seriously though I die, it’s so creamy without feeling heavy, and with no sauce to cook I don’t have to do as many dishes, win win! And it’s so easy my kids can make it, I’m adding it to the teenager’s dinner night rotation. Now I’ve seen carbonara with spaghetti, but I prefer the linguine noodles myself. The size is just perfect for the right amount of sauce IMO, also you can trade out the bacon for prosciutto if you prefer, but I’m bacon gal most of the time.
Did you know that the Non-GMO Project is the only entity in North America that offers third-party verification and labeling for products made according to rigorous best practices for GMO avoidance? I didn’t but you can bet I’m looking for that labeling on my food now!
