Buddy V's Carbonara with Sausage

Bucatini Carbonara with Sausage

Bucatini Carbonara with Sausage - recipe from Buddy V's in Las Vegas. SO easy to make! Only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish! Bucatini, eggs, parmesan cheese, bacon, garlic, pepper and sausage. This was SO good that I wanted to lick the bowl! Easy enough for a weeknight.

This recipe was inspired by our most recent trip to Vegas. We ate lunch at Buddy V's (The Cake Boss). We shared an order of meatballs and a bowl of carbonara. The meatballs were really good, but the carbonara was AMAZING! It was one of the best things we've ever eaten. We literally fought over the last few bites. I knew I had to recreate the pasta at home.

I bought Buddy's cookbook while we were still sitting in the restaurant, and the recipe couldn't be any simpler. Pasta tossed with egg yolks, Parmesan, bacon, and garlic. We added some Italian sausage because that is how we ate it in the restaurant. This was just as incredible at home as it was in Vegas. The carbonara only took a few minutes to make - basically just the time it took to cook the pasta. LOVE!! Chicken Legs has already requested this again! I can't wait!
