    5-star opinion...delicious flavor, texture and aroma!
    Info...we had a cooking party for 5 couples and purpose...pasta carbonara.
    Each couple made a different carbonara recipe listed on FoodTV web site. Bottom line...all recipes made a delicious food. This particular recipe by Nigella was most preferred for seconds.
    If any reader has never had a food party...

    Easy, delicious and fast. Would be good with chicken, etc. but I always try to stick to a recipe as closely as possible the first time and then tweak it next time. I did use bacon instead of pancetta because that is what I already had. Will make it again.

    Is there such thing as a Nigella recipe that isn't pure heaven in food form? I use sherry rather than vermouth to deglaze (only because that's usually what I have on hand, and it turns out perfectly every time. Perfect for a fast, simple supper that feels luxurious.

    I hear that Italians cringe at the idea of cream being added to carbonara... but this recipe is delicious! You have to have everything pretty much mise-en-place, work fast, and eat immediately when ready!

    This was the first spaghetti carbonara recipe that I attempted that actually worked the way it was supposed to, and it was a revelation. Now, I get why people like carbonara so much! Great and fast recipe, although even following this recipe exactly, I feed four people with it.

    I know this recipe is pretty traditional, but mine needed more flavor so maybe a bit more salt?

    This recipe is so completely satisfying and delicious -- it is definitely one of my favorites. I also like david rocco's recipe for this -- especially breaking the raw egg on top -- but Nigella's version is my favorite. Hands down -- this is a winner!
