  All's wrong!!!!!!

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I'm Italian,so I know how to prepare the "Carbonare" You need only : spaghetti,slide of smoked bacon,few eggs,salt,black... pepper,grated cheese,parmesan or old pecorino. When you boiled the pasta,you fried to the chopped bacons,not to much. In a bowl,you work with a fork the eggs with salt ,pepper and some grated cheese. When the pasta is ready,on the top you put the eggs and after the bacons,you mixed and ads the rest of grated cheese. Try.......... Alls other are only a very poor imitations. PeterRead more

  This recipe is an insult

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  What's with the sour creme? flour? milk? and oregano??? There's nothing wrong with adding a new twist to an old classic,... especially if it makes the dish tastier or if it lessens the time to make, or makes it easier to make. BUT - talk about taking already simple dish that is so quick and easy to make that adds no flavors that make it better, adds time to the dish and masks what are already great flavors of the 5 to 6 original ingredients that will knock your socks off so long as they are the freshest and best quality: ? egg yolks ? freshly grated parmiggiano cheese ? extra virgin olive oil ? cubed and chopped pancetta (an italian pork product like bacon but uncured) which can be swapped out with bacon if you can't find pancetta ? chopped fresh garlic ? chopped fresh parsley And -- if the consistence of the "sauce" is too thick, the addition of a little of the starchy pasta water -- or a few tablespoons of cream. The original recipe takes no longer than the time it takes to boil the pasta to al dentee, and all the other ingredients can be prepared and put in place while the pasta's boiling. Read more

  Very good

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Recipe received great reviews. I followed the suggestion posted on earlier reveiws and put less flour than stated in the... recipe. I also mixed 1/2 cup of heavy cream along with 1 cup of milk. Probably not necessary but it was good. Used wheat pasta just to appease the health concious in the family. This is in the rotation for sure. Thank you!Read more

  It was ok just needed some tweaking

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  I found that 2 tbls. of flour was too much. I had to use more milk because it got way too thick. I also added orange bell... pepper and chopped romano tomato to it. Next time I will use chicken in it too. Pretty good base and not as fattening as other carbonara recipes! Thanks Robin...I still LOVE your show! 2nd dish I've tried...the Morrocan Tilapia w/Mango Salsa (which needed tweaking too) is delicious! Read more

  An easy to do meal for a working mom

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I made this tonight (for the first time) and the fam loved it. I had to use regular sour cream and bacon, but everything else... was spot on. I did, however, add shrimp and red peppers to the dish which gained high praise from the hubs! I also did double duty on the chopping and prep for most of the first steps. I threw it in the freezer, hoping that the meal would earn a spot on the rotation. I really think this will be easy to prepare during the week with the easy prep-ahead I did today. Read more
