ITALIAN RECIPE: Tuna Carbonara has evolved into a sweet and creamy white sauced spaghetti dish in the Philippines. I've tried it, and I must say it is pretty good.
This recipe is an improved version of the simple Carbonara recipe. Two additional ingredients I think is what makes this recipe stands from the original one. The Red Onion, and the Tuna. Don’t forget those two ingredients as much as possible and if the Red Onion is not available, you can omit it but it taste really good with it.
