For carbonara, there are many different recipes, but this is the one I came up after the several trials and errors.
I used to reserve the entire heavy cream with egg mixture to finish, but I settled on this version as I found out that it's richer if the cream is briefly simmered first.

At Step 6, make sure to whisk quickly. This will allow the eggs to very slowly cook to the best consistency when it hits the hot pasta, but it will prevent the eggs from scrambling.
You could use a whole egg, but it will taste richer when only with egg yolk.
Also you could either give add more bacon and grated cheese, or just add vegetables as you wish.♪ Recipe by Natsumi
