We love carbonara. It’s creamy, quick and delicious. It’s also really versatile with most ingredients in every season. In our version we purée charred sweet corn and leeks to create a creamed corn sauce base. We then toss everything together with charred red peppers which provide a sweet, tangy flavor.
