I made these last 3 September 2016 during our (Migz and I) 3rd monthsary. My friend and neighbor, James, brought Fried Chicken to go with the Spicy Tuna Carbonara Pasta with Crispy Bacon Bits I made. I also prepared Garlic Toast which was so easy to prepare.

My friends told me that the sauce is so creamy and delicious (they’re too kind haha!). I didn’t even add cheese but it turned out yummy! The carbonara sauce mix really helped a lot.

You should try it, too! When you do, let me know how it goes for you in the comments section below. 😊
