This sweet leek carbonara is a delightful twist inspired by Jamie Oliver's VEG cookbook. For a unique flavor, leeks are used as a substitute for pancetta lardons, combined with parmesan and eggs to create a satisfying sauce. Though I added a splash too much pasta water, the dish turned out excellent, making it a fantastic alternative to classic carbonara.
