Pasta alla Carbonara

This is a meal dish from the Weight Watcher's publication Best One-dish Dinners.  This dish was cooked for supper. Husband rated this as pretty good which means he can eat it twice or more in a month. For those of you who use stars, the recipe would rate a 3 star. I use the Weight Watchers Point Plus calculator to reformat the points.
