Recipe Challenge: Day 19 – Vegetarian Linguine Carbonara

Pin It

Pasta Night! I love Pasta 🙂 This is a simple yet fully flavored dish. Easy to make and is ready in pretty much under 20 minutes you can’t go wrong.  You can also dress up this dish the possiblitiles are endless.  Add chicken if you wanted, or even more vegetables. Summer squash would work perfectly, cherry tomatoes even would give it a boost in extra sweet flavor.  Serve with some home baked french bread and enjoy!
