“This has to be the best carbonara. "Critics" being the family demolished the whole pot going 2nds to 3rd bowls each for a family of 7. Hubby likes more sauce so I just added thickened cream over it as it dried out. Thank you for this gem. It's a keeper ❤️ and ” — a cook, 5★
“I just made this and it is delicious and soooo very easy to make. It is a tad salty for my taste but will absolutely make it again but cut back a wee bit on the salt. Thank you for sharing.” — a cook, 5★
