Ham Carbonara

With Easter right around the corner, many of you may be having ham to eat, so I wanted to share this ham carbonara recipe with you.  Although I recently made this with packaged diced ham, it will be delicious with left over ham...I'm excited to make it again!

It's easy to put together and loaded with flavor.
