Yuck...color was neon yellow, taste was bland. Pasty at best. Won't make again.

This was a decent dish, but probably not something I would make again. I absolutely love pasta, so I have plenty of other recipes - including carbonara ones - to turn to, and this just didn't stack up. I agree that RR's recipes are unreliable, and I just don't think the ingredients worked here, particularly the saffron and turmeric. Won't be making this again.

It was a great new flavor for pasta however am giving 4 stars because i found it a little pasty (like one reviewer stated UNTIL i added the zest of one lemon and about a tablespoon of lemon juice. That cut through the heavy turmeric flavor. Also added golden raisins and basil and some extra parsley. YUM

There is a private restaurant on the beach in Hualalai that serves a pasta carbonara with a hint of SOMETHING I've never been able to put my tongue on. Saffron (and perhaps the turmeric is it! This is a fantastic recipe! I used butcher-cut smoked bacon in place of pancetta and tossed in a few peas. Creative, simple, and elegant...this dish is my husband's favorite (and we hope to introduce our future kids as family staple ,-

Not worth the ingredients.Has a weird neon color, not much flavor. 2 stars for edibility and quick preparation. Texture was very pasty near the end. RR's recipes are not reliable.

This was an excellent recipe. This is a recipe that will stay in my kitchen forever. I have tried other Carbonara recipes and this is my favorite.

I have made this several times. Just today did it with a wide lemon pasta that Trader Joe's sells and it was awesome! Then for theleftovers put a dollop of a basil pesto with it and WOW!
I thinka chiffonade of fresh basil garnish would also work very well. Will try some thai basil sometime too. :

Was a little nervous about using saffron, because I've never used it and it was expensive for as spices go, but this dish was very good. Will make it again! Everyone went back for seconds even my picky two year old.

My sister is a winemaker and around this time of year, she has no time for herself. Being the good sis that I am, I try to make a few home-cooked meals at her house during these crazy times. (think 14 hour days, 7 day weeks... Last night, I made this recipe for her, her hubby, and myself, and wow!! This was spectacular. The flavors were wonderful, the recipe was easy, and I came off a rock star : I did give it an added touch, though - Rachael would totally dig the addition - I put an over-easy egg on top of each plate after dishing up the spaghetti. Hit it with some grated Pecorino Romano, and voila! Masterpiece! Instantly induced food coma in the best way.
