Name: Quick Carbonara
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 12 ounces uncooked spaghetti; 3 tablespoons butter; 3 tablespoons canola oil; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 3 cups cubed fully cooked ham; 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled; 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley; 3/4 cup sliced ripe or pimiento-stuffed olives; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Carbonara is a dinnertime classic, but my version cuts down on the time it takes to make. Loaded with ham, bacon, olives, garlic and Parmesan, it certainly doesn't skimp on flavor. &mdash;Carole Martin, Tallahassee, Florida

Excellent recipe. Fast and delicious. Can add an egg or two mixed with the cheese at the end off the heat.

Which (specifically) olives do you use?? I am assuming “black olives” due to the photo but, I wanted to be sure

I modified this recipe a bit by adding shrimp, onions and diced tomatoes.  I used minced garlic but added twice as much as called for because my family loves garlic.  I doubled this recipe for a larger group, and mixed the pasta et al in a crock pot and kept it on warm.  It was very well-liked.  The leftovers were even better the next day.

Definitely went back for seconds on this one.

This was great!!  Absolute favourite.  Everyone wanted seconds.  Now I did add baby shrimp to it and I omitted the salt as I thought the salty ness from the bacon and the ham would be enough, which it was.  I am actually making this dish again tonight!!

Let me first say that I have never rated a recipe, and felt I had to here!  It was VERY GOOD!!  I did substitute olive oil in place of the vegetable oil, I used about 5 cloves of garlic, as I LOVE garlic, and I also sauted some shrimp with the butter, oil, & garlic mixture.  Other than that I followed the recipe to a "T".  My husband usually has a comment about adding or deleting something, however, not this time!! He and I both really enjoyed it!  Thanks for sharing your recipe, we will make it over and over!
