When I went to trim some parsley from my herbs, I included some basil with the flat leaf parsley and curly parsley. That was my only variation. It was wonderful and easy. I would proudly include this as a pasta course at a dinner party.

People are having trouble with scrambling their eggs because you need to let it cool to a warm - not hot - temperature first. But he can't SAY that because then you might wait too long and your eggs might be cooked unsafely, so he has to say to add them while the pan is hot.

I cooked a half pound of kielbasa and a shallot in some bacon grease (saved in my freezer instead of using actual bacon. Turned out great!

I just made this recipe and for me it turned out awesome! I added some of the cheese to the eggs. For new cooks out there make sure to temper the eggs, I used a little of the pasta water to make sure it didn't scramble.

I ♥ spaghetti carbonara. Emeril's recipe is pretty much identical to my recipe that I've been using for over a decade. I read one reviewer stating that poring eggs over hot pasta created scrambled eggs, but that tells me that the reviewer can't cook, and it has nothing to do with the quality of this recipe. I give 5 stars to this classic and simple spaghetti carbonara recipe.

I used farm-fresh eggs, fresh-ground Parmesan, and fresh-ground pepper. It made all the difference. The flavors really stood out. My only recommendation beyond the recipe itself is to reserve a bit of the pasta water to adjust the consistency to your liking.

I'm sorry. This recipe was horrendous! If you like breakfast pasta, go for it.

Question: what happens when you put beaten eggs in a hot pan.

Answer: they cook and when stirred they scramble.

Add cheese and you have a gooey ball of what looks like saturday dinner and sundays breakfast.

Sorry Emeril, not one of your better ones.
