Spaghetti Carbonara

with Coconut “Bacon” and Garlic Rapini

Traditional carbonara can be a heavy meal, a creamy sauce paired with pasta that’s often light on the vegetables. In this dish we switch things up, slightly bitter rapini, or broccoli rabe, is a counterbalance to the creamy cashew sauce which is lightened with fresh lemon juice. Coconut bacon adds a crunch, just watch it in the oven, it will only need a few minutes to get toasty.
