I made a carbinaroid (totally inauthentic carbonara, the way I first learned to make it) with rotini, not spaghetti. I served it with a salad with no lettuce. Leaves: mustard greens, rainbow chard, sorrel, and a bit of Belgian endive. The other stuff in the salad: grated carrot, thinly sliced celery, thinly sliced red onion, a bit of chopped broccoli, a bit of chopped cauliflower, and some thinly slice green cabbage. I made a blue cheese dressing to go with that. It was delicious, if I do say so myself.
