Today I Learned

That the red chili flakes in Spaghetti Carbonara are there for a REASON. And you should probably add some more pepper, too. Otherwise you're just eating parmesan-flavored egg sauce with chunks of bacon.

Not that that's BAD, necessarily, but it won't be the flavor profile you're expecting. Just sayin'.

Also: I made it with spaghetti squash, not spaghetti. Yay, gluten free.
