REVIEW: Goodfella's Creamy Carbonara

First of all I thought I would mention that I tried this on Thursday 28th December 2023 before I went gluten free. The reason I purchased this was because I had been loving the Zizzi Chorizo Carbonara (read the blog post here) and keep seeing the Goodfella's and wanted to see if it was amazing like the Zizzi's.
