What is Carbonara?

Carbonara is a pasta dish that originated in Rome. It’s traditionally made with egg, hard cheese (especially Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or a combination), cured pork, and pepper.

Instead of pasta, this Keto Ham Carbonara Casserole uses zucchini noodles to give it a pasta-like feel without the carbs.
