This is our go-to quick dinner when we're feeling a little indulgent. We've used bacon & pancetta both with great results. Lighten it up a bit with a whole wheat/grain pasta when you want something fast and delicious. This recipe is in the favorites arsenal. Get the freshest/best quality eggs that you can in your store and don't worry about the raw factor...you will love it!

Finally a new recipe that my teenage son will eat! First had this in Rome right before Christmas, made this recipe at home for New Year's Eve. It was easy and simply as good as the stuff we had in Rome! A new recipe for everyday. (Will use a little more pasta water next time. Thank you Mario...a fan.

Simply, easy and tasty. I used pancetta...great flavor. The best part was mixing in the egg yolk. It added a rich creaminess to the pasta. The cheese and the pepper are perfect. This is going into my "make this regularly" pile.

Absolutely perfect carbonara! You won't find it in an American restaurant made in this style since it involves raw egg yolk. As long as you use a really good bacon or pancetta and real parmigiano reggiano this recipe is pretty easy to make and will wow your guests if they're only used to cream-based, Americanized crap. Add a smidge of kosher salt and use a coarse grind pepper to fully bring out the flavor. Really awesome stuff!

My entire family loves this recipe and it is on the menu at least one week night a month. It's quick and delicious. I make it with whole wheat pasta and I increase the eggs to six (it easily feeds six. My kids are wild about it and it's filling enough to satisfy my husband. We salute Mario every time we eat it - "molto Italiano, molto bene. Mangia!"

This was, without a doubt, the BEST carbonara I've ever had or made. The prep and cooking were quick and easy. Although four of us had no trouble finishing every bite, I think the portions were a little on the large side...this recipe would feed six with no problem. Two days later, and my husband and sons are still raving about it. I'll be making this regularly.
