Very good dish and a fast meal. My picky daughter also liked it. I added frozen peas (I microwaved the peas first) and it was delicious. Next time I make this I will add another egg and a bit more cream because it could have been saucier :-)

Really easy to follow, the taste was fantastic, my man loved it,so did I, he had never tried carbonara before. It was really tasty, I altered the recipe slightly, I added garlic to the cream and basil to the butter, I was very careful to have everything at room temperature.

Very good recipe. Learned the hard way to ensure butter is added, as per step 2 -- otherwise too dry. Recommended.

Delicious and easy meal. Maybe a bit dry, but I may have had the noodles too hot when I added the egg and they cooked.

This is delicious! I scaled it down for 4 servings but next time I will double the sauce because my parapalle (sp?) pasta sucked up the sauce! I used half and half instead of heavy cream, but other than that didn't change a thing! Served with garlic bread and a salad with homemade Italian dressing, and my husband said he wants this again and again---yay!

This just went over as so-so for us. I tossed with olive oil instead of butter and used fat-free half and half. And I only used 2 eggs. A little too bland for us, even with the added garlic. Alot like alfredo which we are not big eaters of either.

It was a good base recipe, but really lacked flavor. I made it exactly per the instructions and ended up adding mushrooms, asparagus, garlic, and red pepper flakes for flavor.

Made this tonight and I was sooo excited to have some, but I was a little disappointed. I think next time I would only do 3 eggs and increase the cream. It was too eggy for my taste and not enough sauce.

This is one of our favorites. I like to add 1 cup of Frozen Peas at the end of the pasta boil to make it more Italian style.

This was a very easy recipe, and my husband and 3 year old son loved it. I did cook some chicken with garlic and add it in. It was delicious and we have enough leftovers for tomorrow.

I decided to make this because I thought I had everything needed for this recipe and since we're in the middle of a move we needed something quick, easy and filling. I started out this recipe incredibly sceptical and once I realized I was short on bacon I only became more sceptical. During cooking it looked so odd to me (with my substitute left over rotiserrie chicken and mushroom sauted in the bacon grease) that I really stopped trying to make it good. I just wanted to finish it and call it a day and perhaps call in a pizza. BUT, even with the substitutions and my complete lack of effort it was a DELICIOUS recipe! Honestly, if I can't mess it up (as a novice) with a ton of substitutions and with out even trying to measure or do it right, then I doubt that there's a way to really mess it up. Totally worth trying!!!

Easy to follow and very yummy...I love cheese so of course I used more and was so good! Also, I use angel hair pasta instead of fettucine because angel hair is smaller and I like that better - soaks up more of the sauce!

This was very tasty. I sauteed onion and garlic, and substituted prociutto (only cook it a short time or it gets gamey)I substituted milk for cream, but I regret it. I also threw in steamed broccoli florets, but I recommend peas for a more authentic Italian flavor.

Like others I added some chopped onion and only used 3 eggs. Also be sure to use REAL shredded parmisan, it is MUCH better that way. A tip: To save on time buy the bacon in a bag (already cooked) and add it to the onion and garlic at the very end of browning. It works great!
