The most delicious option for me is Carbonara pasta with bacon, cheese and cream.

I tried macaroni with ham and cheese in this version for the first time and what I want to say, it turned out very tasty 👍A great option for a quick and tasty dinner! While I was boiling the spaghetti, I chopped the ham, fried it in butter, and grated the cheese on a fine grater. I added spaghetti and cream to the ham, simmered it a little and at the end sprinkled it with grated cheese. I added dill to the finished dish. My son really liked this dinner! Thank you very much to the author for such a wonderful idea!
