    YUM! I added another yolk and an extra cup of chicken broth which gave it lots of creaminess! I also added a bag of frozen peas when simmering at the end...will absolutely make again :-

    This is a great basic carbonara recipe. I've made it several times with different pastaa. I've made it with bacon when I didn't have pancetta. Only thing is I use less red pepper flakes - the amount suggested is a little much for my taste. Next time I want to make it with guanciale which is more traditional. Another reviewer suggested it wasn't carbonara without onions. Huh? I've never seen onion included in any carbonara recipe.

    OK. I know I am a complete amateur but how do you make carbonara without onions? I was disappointed with my dinner last night. It had too much of a "bite". Tonight I sautéed onions in EVOO and a little butter - this dish suddenly became amazing; I could not get enough!

    This is great..second time I've made it in a week! First time was with bacon (1 lb chopped and fried..then I drained it and the grease and but 2 Tb back to the same pan and added a little olive oil...add the garlic and red pepper...then added 1 cup of stock...reduce and I used three yolks and a little extra cheese... Was even better the next day reheated with a little more stock...

    People and family loved it!!!!

    This received a "delicious" rating from my daughter which means it has to be good. It was very easy to make. I substituted bacon for pancetta, added half a diced onion, increased the chicken stock to 1.5 cups and used an extra egg (3 in total for added creaminess. Final product was nice creamy pasta dish that even had the dogs begging for a taste. I used 500 grams of pasta which equals a little more than a pound.

    Very good and easy! We didn't have pancetta so we used Canadian Bacon and it still was great. Makes a lot! Could have used a little more sauce.

    Outstanding! While water boiled I prepped so everything was ready. If you don't have parm. cheese use romano. I did and it worked. Pepper is used to your taiste I like it bold so I went for about a 1 tsp then adjusted to more. I love the black specks throughout the pasta(nice to look at. I also like the bite. To me this dish should be bold... and this one is. This is a good pasta recipe...a really good pasta recipe.

    Really wonderful! My family enjoyed this dish so much they went for seconds. I am not that great of a cook, but this was a hit. I did not use as much garlic as stated in the receipe and I added cut up grilled chicken breast to make it a complete meal.
