    I didn't have enough bacon. The only other meat in the fridge was a frozen chicken filet (dark meat. So I chopped it up to be roughly the same size as the bacon and threw it in the pan after the bacon had cooked about halfway. The chicken easily absorbed the flavor of the bacon and no one seemed to notice. The dish is a winner but you might want to temper your eggs with a bit of pasta water.

    wow so so good. husband was asking for meat sauce and didn't feel like defrosting hamburger so whipped this up in a pinch. nobody missed the meat. tried another recipe that called for reduced chicken broth with only 2 yolks and it was good but not creamy and delicious like this one. added a little crushed red pepper flake to appease son who can't seem to eat without hot sauce. definitely will add this to my dinner in a hurry file

    I really loved this recipe! I added about 1 cup of the pasta water to loosen up the sauce. But that is the only thing I changed. Yummmy!!

    It's good, not great. I would say sub pancetta for bacon and leave out the parsley. Also to avoid scrambling your eggs, all you have to do is mix them up in a bowl with the cheese, pepper and salt, metal mixing bowl is ideal. Then add the hot pasta and meat and mix it up. If thickening is needed just put the bowl over the pasta water and mix while the steam heats it.

    I love carbonara but haven't been able to find a recipe that measures up to my expectations until now. This is a wonderful and easy dish to make! I do add a little more cheese, bacon, and a little fat-free half and half to make it a little more creamy. It's my now go-to dish when I need my carbonara fix!

    Just delicious and so easy to make. Comforting on a cold night. I didn't have parsley on hand, but it was still delicious!
