Ever find yourself craving that creamy, dreamy pasta carbonara from Cheesecake Factory but don’t feel like getting dressed and driving there? Oh, me too! This copycat recipe is perfect for those nights after a long day of work when you’re craving something comforting yet luxurious. This dish has its roots in Italy, but it’s the American twist from Cheesecake Factory that we’re all obsessed with. The rich, savory sauce mingles perfectly with the pasta, making it a meal you’ll want to make again and again.

This creamy pasta carbonara pairs wonderfully with a fresh, crisp side salad to balance the richness of the pasta. You could also serve it with some garlic bread for a little extra indulgence. And don’t forget a light, citrusy drink like lemonade or a chilled white wine to refresh your palate between bites!
