The best pasta dish in every state

At Bottega Cafe, chef Frank Stitt’s more casual sibling to his upscale Bottega (both Alabama must-visits), you’ll find a variety of well-made pasta dishes like rigatoni Bolognese and macaroni and cheese, along with a couple that change depending on what's in season. But one pasta dish that won’t ever be leving the menu is his spaghetti carbonara. One of the simplest pasta dishes around (just spaghetti tossed with a little cheese, guanciale or pancetta, and egg yolk), it’s also one of the most difficult to get right. But at Bottega Cafe, it’s just about perfect.
