Why is it called a Slimming world Carbonara?
There are many theories for the origin of the name carbonara,
Since the name is derived from carbonaro (the Italian word for ‘charcoal burner’), some believe the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian charcoal workers. In parts of the United States, this etymology gave rise to the term “coal miner’s spaghetti”. It seems more likely that it is an “urban dish” from Rome,] perhaps popularized by the restaurant La Carbonara in Rome. (source)
