Spaghetti Carbonara as comfort food — exactly what I needed
Some dishes exist to comfort and Spaghetti Carbonara is absolutely in that category. The rich and umami quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. aged balsamic does work that no substitute can replicate.

Traditional versus modern Spaghetti Carbonara — which wins?
