John doesn't like to eat dinner before a show so this has become our favorite midnight supper after a gig. I can't eat, think about, dream about, or even remotely consider Pasta Carbonara without thinking of Heartburn, the Meryl Streep/Jack Nicholson movie from the eighties that I both love and hate. Love, because it's incredibly written by Norah Ephron and incredibly acted by Meryl and Jack. Pasta carbonara is best fresh, but if you're going to reheat, it is best to reheat pasta carbonara over the stove, and not in the microwave. Get Carbonara Sauce Recipe from Food Network.
