Recipe

• 1 for the sauce:.
• 2 cut up the onion and garlic into small pieces and saute in the oil and margarine for about 3 minutes.
• 3 add the chopped bacon, liquid smoke and adobo sauce. saute until the bacon is cooked. this won't take long as turkey bacon is very lean.
• 4 taste it -- you should always taste what you make!
• 5 add the silk creamer and the parsley and simmer to reduce the cream. add more if you prefer. make sure you taste this again and adjust for seasonings.
• 6 set the sauce aside.
• 7 cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• 8 when the pasta is cooked add it to the carbonara sauce and give it a really good toss. you want to get every noodle coated.
• 9 sprinkle with a little romano cheese and dig in!
• 10 bon appetit!
