“Hi! I made this tonight. The technique is great. I have made carbonara before and it broke. This one did not and made a creamy dish. However, I always use a lot of salt in my pasta water and the final product with the parm, bacon, added salt, and salty water t” — a cook, 4★
“Delicious & Easy! I used bacon because although I love pancetta I’m not into spending that much. Angel hair was my pasta of choice. Cooked perfectly Al dente. I like a lighter pasta with a heavy sauce like this. Excellent recipe! I’ll make this again” — a cook, 5★
