Italy - Spaghetti alla carbonara di salsiccia

Italy sent 284 athletes to London to take part in 22 sports.  They did very well and came 8th overall.

I'd been undecided what I was going to make for Italy, so in the end I let the teens pick what they wanted out of my Jamie's Italian book.  This is what they picked (although it was meant to be linguine but I had spaghetti in so that's what we had!).  There's a version of this on the food network website if you'd like the recipe.
