Nope, nothing wrong with real ale or even good lager (Pils). In the summer when it's warm (it happens occasionally) this is mostly what we drink, alcohol-wise, or perhaps some good quality Devon cider, nicely chilled. Red wine drinking is limited, with preference being for a nice chilled Chablis or rosé.
I love pasta (obviously coming from Italian parents) but I'm not a big fan of Carbonara. It's too creamy and a bit heavy for me. My wife makes her own fresh egg pasta in the form of tagliatelle, linguine (love this baked in the oven in tinfoil with fresh tomato, chilli and basil sauce with langoustine and clams - yum!) ravioli, lasagne, etc.
She also makes home-made gnocchi and pesto, which is lovely
Marco.
I can confirm the tin foil method is a winner! and your wife is a fantastic cook Marco - I had the rest of the pasta and bread and it was yum! Ta.
I rarely drink these days, but will have the occasional grolsch or a malt.
