Fettuccini Carbonara

Spaghetti Carbonara was probably my favorite meal growing up. I remember my father would always fry the bacon. On the few occasions he attempted to do the whole meal by himself, all the bacon ended up clumped at the bottom of the pot =P. So this dish is simliar, with fettuccini instead of spaghetti, and a little bit more of a sauce. The traditional meat to use in carbonara is actually guanciale, which is unsmoked pig cheek. Yummy.
