Spaghetti Carbonara with Garlicky Broccoli
Like most recipes, the origins of the dish are obscure, and there are many legends about it. As the name is derived from carbone (the Italian word for coal), some believe that the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian charcoal workers. This theory gave rise to the term “coal miner’s spaghetti”, which is used to refer to spaghetti alla carbonara in parts of the United States. Regardless of how it came about, it’s a delicious combination of pasta, cheese and bacon (yay bacon!).
