That being said, I have not eaten any Treif in almost 18 years. About 8 months ago, I saw a recipe being made on T.V. called, yup, you guessed it, Pasta Carbonara. I remembered eating this many times as a young man. Traditional Carbonara, like the one my grandfather cooked, was made with Pancetta or Guanciale  (my Cured Meats) . So with that, I needed a meat that was high in fat and tasted divine.
