Quick Carbonara
I found a similar recipe by Chris Jacobs here on Cookpad. My kids love Carbonara but I’d never tried to make it before. I was really surprised by how easy it was to make and with ingredients I typically always have at home. Tasted great and only took 15 mins. Added a few tips I was given to stop the eggs scrambling.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add some oil to a large frying pan (big enough to mix the spaghetti in later) and start to cook the bacon
- 2
At the same time cook the spaghetti as per the instructions. I used dried spaghetti so added to a pan of boiling water and cooked for 10/12 minutes
- 3
Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and add half the grated parmesan
- 4
Once the bacon is cooked, put to one side off the heat. This is important as the cooling pan helps stop the eggs scrambling later.
- 5
Once the spaghetti is ready, drain BUT keep a couple of tablespoons of the water.
- 6
Put the spaghetti into the pan with the bacon.
- 7
Stir the spared pasta water with the egg mixture. This warms the eggs which helps prevent scrambling.
- 8
Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and stir.
- 9
Serve immediately, season and add remainder of Parmesan as you wish.
- 10
An Italian friend recommends grating nutmeg over the top.

Enjoy !!

Carbonara Carbonara
We had a potluck at work a couple of days ago and someone brought in a dish that they called carbonara. Now, I'm guilty of being an experimenter myself and making carbonara that's not really carbonara, at least traditionally speaking (see mushroom carbonara, recipe posted previously). But the potluck version was way, way, way out there. In fact, another coworker said it tasted like chicken soup. Which is...weird, but also accurate. The pasta was actually good; it just wasn't carbonara. Anyway, this motivated me to make my own version, sticking much more closely to the dish's roots. The one concession made, out of necessity because it's not a readily available ingredient around here, is the substitution of bacon for the traditional guanciale. Bacon's good, but it's not the same. Don't worry, though, because the pasta still turned out creamy and delicious.

This is a great alternative to traditional carbonara with spaghetti noodles! I also added spinach, onions, julienne carrots, julienne broccoli stalk, and mushrooms to mine. Feel free to make it your own and add whatever veggies you desire.

Quick, Budget-Friendly, and Easy! Rich, Authentic Carbonara Quick, Budget-Friendly, and Easy! Rich, Authentic Carbonara
I love carbonara, but I'm never happy with the carbonara I get at restaurants. So I thought it would be best if I made it myself.In Step 5, make sure to turn off the heat before adding the sauce!! That is about all I can say? If you don't like rich cream, change the amount of heavy cream to half milk and half heavy cream. If you just use the egg yolks, the sauce will be even richer. But I never know what to do with the leftover egg whites, so I just use the whole egg. For 3 servings. Recipe by Ohirotei -
Carbonara Carbonara
After a lot of experimenting, arrived at this recipe for the perfect cream free carbonara. Key is finishing the pasta in the skillet the pancetta was fried in. This makes it easier to add pasta water as needed since its never drained and prevents the eggs from solidifying
