Belongs to xombi Spaghetti Carbonara 

Spaghetti carbonara is another classic Italian dish and a consistent crowd pleaser. This is an incredibly quick recipe, but the secret to success is in the consistency, the pasta to sauce ratio, and the quality of ingredients.
Great for a Friday or Saturday night in with a bottle of Sangiovese di Romagna.

Celeriac is such a lovely vegetable and often under used. Cooking it this way gets the full flavour and sweetness from it.
When you buy your beef make sure it has plenty of fat as this, when melted, will add more flavour. Also take the beef out of the fridge 10 mins before you cook it – this will ensure that the beef cooks evenly.
