This is the third day of my Pizza Challenge and may I introduce the Pizza Alla Carbonara! I took my Spaghetti Carbonara recipe and turned it into a pizza : ) I was so pleased with myself until Danielle looked it up and found out that I was not the first to think of this twist on Spaghetti Carbonara, oh well it was still delicious. For more information on Pizza Baking see this Post: Pizza 101
