You go girl!<br>One word of advice I learned about photo taking is Daylight, natural lighting, it makes all the difference in the world. I carry my food out into my sunroom to take photos, I hardly ever shoot inside my kitchen, they never turn out. Even a window, anywhere natural light comes in.<br>Keep cooking your way!Proud Italian Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553492027206898086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667597806529562954.post-29270201226536651032009-08-06T16:01:51.528-04:002009-08-06T16:01:51.528-04:00I just did a similar dish using zucchini.

Joe - Thanks for your comment. ...Thanks everyone! <br><br>Joe - Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your criticism. I grew up on Romano and that's the cheese I have in my house all the time. However, if I had parmigiano in my fridge I would have used it. The reason why I don't crack the eggs right on the pasta is because I am afraid of the eggs scrambling. I've had it with pancetta and that is good too but I used what I had at home.<br><br>I think my approach to cooking is slightly different than yours. I don't believe that there is only one way to cook something. I think that measurements are just a guide and ingredients can be substituted. However, I do not believe that you should substitute it with Kraft supermarket parmesan cheese but I think if the quality of ingredients are good then your dish will be good. If we all cooked exactly the same then what would be the point of going to restaurants. Variety is the spice of life!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298147216713707425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667597806529562954.post-63795307055291440512009-08-06T11:13:10.769-04:002009-08-06T11:13:10.769-04:00Not to argue with your choices of ingredients, Mic...Not to argue with your choices of ingredients, Michelle, but I think this dish is so much better if you use pancetta and parmigiano reggiano instead of bacon and romano.But, my real quarrel is with how you add the eggs to the dish. I would just crack the eggs into the finished pasta and bacon/pancetta letting the heat of the pasta cook the eggs. Then I would top with the cheese and a heavy sprinkling of cracked pepper. Just my two cents!Joe Ambrosinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908037840920458689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667597806529562954.post-9039732548390947832009-08-05T23:36:45.947-04:002009-08-05T23:36:45.947-04:00I think your pictures look great - makes me wanna ...I think your pictures look great - makes me wanna eat some!!
