We saw this on TV and thought it looked like something we would enjoy. I have to say after reading so many reviews saying they had their eggs go "scrambled" I was a little nervous. Well fellow cooks, I made this tonight for the first time, followed directions to the T and I have to say that 5 stars are not enough. This is AMAZING!!! Thanks Anne for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. Will be making this over and over!!!

This is a dish that I already did well on my own, but now it is near perfection! As an Italian, I know that milk should never go in this dish, but I was always so affaid to use the eggs. Now I can finally say I do it the proper way. I did only use 5 eggs. I had recalled seeing Ann Burrell, on "The Best Thing I Ever Made", saying she used that many simply because she liked it very saucy. Knowing that, I knew that reducing the amount of eggs, would not mess the recipe up... Voila! Perfect Carbonara. Thanks Ann, you rock!!!

Absolutely delish! And so easy to make. Everyone loves this dish .. and I have made this SEVERAL times since seeing Anne make this on the "Best Thing" episode. You can halve and even quarter this dish - it makes a wonderful brunch meal! Once I had the technique down, I have really improvised a lot ..Making up this dish, I have used up "extra" pasta - even macaroni! I have even used regular bacon drippings (instead of pancetta!. But don't substitute any other cheese for the pecorino. And I do use 8 eggs, but only 6 whole eggs plus the yolks from the other two. It makes a difference, I think. I also think it helps to let the eggs come up to room temperature.

So easy, so simple and most important so delicious. My picky five yr old said this was his favorite spagetti. He said It's even better than mac N cheese. I will make this over and over. When i added the egg & cheese mixture i turn off the flame, the heat of the pasta and pacetta cooked the egg & and last i just added a little pasta water and turned the flame to slowest for maybe less than a minute. Like other reviewers mention "mix mix", so you don't get scramble eggs.

Pretty good considering I scrambled the eggs just a little and couldn't find pancetta in my grocery store so I just used bacon. But even with those two things it was still pretty creamy and tasty. I think next time if I remove from the heat instead of keeping it on, I won't scramble at all and it will turn out much better.

Wow....this was a great recipe. Although I didn't use the exact type of cheese or bacon listed, I used regular bacon, parmesan and mozza. Also, I used less eggs. It was still awesome...have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!!!
