“Valentine's Day. What to make. The missus loves Carbonara, so this was a no brainer, but it had been 20+ years since I'd made it and not sure that was good enough. Allrecipes is my go-to site and I wanted a traditional recipe. No cream! But, as requested I use” — a cook, 5★
“This is as authentic as it gets. It is very close to how I make it. If you have to add cream you messed up. The wonderful thing about this is the silky textures you get from the egg, pecorino, and pasta water mixture. Don't forget to turn off your heat and jus” — a cook, 5★
