This is a wonderful recipe. I have made it several times. If you do not have white wine, you may substitute chicken stock and still have a wonderful result. This turned out perfect every time. I made mine with home made pasta....YUM!!!!

Easy, yummy, yet elegant. I did make this substitute bacon with peas because I am a vegetarian, but kept everything else the same. Just delicious.

Loved it! After using a different carbonara recipe with disastrous results, this was a welcome relief. Used bacon and cut back on the olive oil, but otherwise was fabulous. Will definitely make again.

This was a very good recipe but like all recipes, I improvised. Instead of the pancetta I sauted the garlic with shrimp and fresh mushrooms and then tossed in some sliced grape tomatoes near the end. A sprinkle of fresh parsley on top and it was a sensation with my husband.

When we were watching the show, my husband exclaimed this was his favorite dish. I had no idea! I thought it would be nice to make for him when he got home after a road trip. It was super easy and it was delicious. I used fresh pasta (12oz from a local specialty store, and I could tell the difference from other pasta dishes where I just use dried pasta. If you like pasta dishes, you'll like this one.

This was really good and I had to be forced to stop eating it. Next time I will try making my own pasta as Guy said that was the big difference. Agreed that with a full pound of pasta, I had to add the whole cup of cream. Otherwise, it convinces me that the easiest recipes are always the best.

I was looking for something quick to make and my daughter requested pasta. This recipe was so delicious and easy to make. I improvised on many of the ingredients, mascarpone cheese, whatever clear wine that I had, etc. The meal was creamy, elegant and wonderful. My kids immediately requested to add it as part of the dinner rotation. My only suggestion would be to add vegetables, maybe sliced mushrooms, blanched asparagus (for crunch etc. We will definitely make again.
