Ultimate spaghetti carbonara recipe

Best carbonara I've made yet. Didn't really follow the recipe per say... Used normal cheese 🤣 and bacon. Not too much pasta water. But was lovely. Made carbonara in the past and was more wet and bland.

used slightly less pasta water than in the recipe and that turned out great!

Made almost as the recipe. I only used the yolks of the egg. Yummy. A little hard first time making. Will place on to rotation if my teen daughter likes.

A little less cheese and less pasta water next time

Very easy quick and tasty 😋

For us an extra egg, a bit more pasta water and don’t use 100g of each cheese.

Amazing! One of my new favorites!!!

Definitely, need more meat. About 50% more :)

Lovely

Very quick and easy, next time will add extra egg yolks to make even creamier

Really good. Really easy!

Perfect. I used bacon, which is always an acceptable substitute in this house.

One of my favorites. Beaut!

Tried to simplify, used bacon bits and only Parmesan cheese. The bacon bits worked great and made it so much easier. Just using Parmesan worked, but I think the flavor would be better with both cheeses. Also, as others note, do save your pasta water to add some back at the end.

We added peas, really quick and easy tea

This recipe was pretty good as is. I had to add just a little extra pasta water to it at the end.

So much better than a packet mixture. More flavour from such a small amount of ingredients

Quick and easy, no fuss. I did use Gran Padano cheese instead of pecorino, but it still worked great.

Made this without the meat - still tasted delicious!

Really good! Not many ingredients were needed and it didn't take that long to make.

Upped to 100g pasta per person

Added Italian herbs as extra and chilli flakes for a kick

Get everything ready to throw together once the pancetta is cooked.

You need to have the pecorino ready

Per 100g pasta: 1 egg, 1egg yoke, 2 tablespoons of pancette fat & 2 tablespoons of pasta water. Cheese is a 50/50 mix of pecorino romano and parmigiano reggiano. I used about 50g of pancette.

Made half for 3 me-servings. - Used 2 medium eggs. - Used bacon instead of pancetta. - Just used parmesan. - Added a generous amount of peas.

This. 100% Don't think, just make.

I left the garlic in, used smoked bacon and just parmesan (100g).

Simple meal. Very easy to follow taste was amazing even without the meat.

Nice and simple just take care when you mix in the eggs not to scrable them, I tempered them abit by adding some pasta to the egg bowl then slowly incorporating it all into the pan. Portion size was to small for a serving two either +1 or have other sides such as garlic breqd or a starter.

Left the garlic in, used smoked streaky bacon instead of pancetta- takes great

Made it many times. A few tips I picked up along the way : 1. Don't over-salt the pasta water or it will ruin your dish . 2. When you think it's done and everything is mixed up, wait 2 min and then add some extra pasta water. This will keep it creamy .

I just use 100g Parmesan and 100g bacon lardons, and I leave the garlic in. Delicious.

Less salt in pastawater

A bit bland, so would add more salt and pepper. Not a go to for me, but not bad at all.

Changed the pasta to gluten free
