Smoked Mackerel Carbonara

Everyone loves a good Carbonara from time to time. Most people often make this classic pasta with bacon because it is less expensive than using the more authentic pancetta.

I hear you, but what if you take a break from all that bacon consumption despite bacon’s awesomeness and try this recipe which uses smoked mackerel instead?

Trust me, serve this recipe at your next brunch or family gathering and you will be dubbed a true gourmand.
