Great recipe but I added tomatoes and chicken to give it an added touch.

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.

i have always loved this dish but have been worried about the raw eggs and making it at home. well i finally bit the bullet and just tried this recipe and we loved it. even my very very picky eater boyfriend loved it. i have made this atleast 3 times a month since i first tried. great recipe!

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!

Very quick and easy though not very healthy. Adding chicken, or veggies (peas, broccoli) good idea.

I love how simple it is to make this dish. I usually like to make a dish before I make it for company. But they were close friends and family so I went for it. Everybody loved it! I know that traditional carbonara is on the dry side but my husband and I like it creamier so the next time I made it, I just added more cream. Great dish!

FABulous! My husband made this and followed the recipe exactly. It was divine! We both agreed we'd make it again and again -- if it wasn't so darn high in fat. It will be part of our 'favorites', but unfortunately won't make the weekly rotation. I highly recommend trying this as an occasional dinner treat!

I AGREE WITH OTHERS THIS COULD HAVE MORE FLAVOR BUT I WILL MAKE IT AGAIN

Good, but could be better if you add a bit more cream, use fresh parm, and like some folks said: add onions to the bacon (I added a bit of garlic as well).

This was as good as anything I have tasted in a restaurant. Made for the in-laws and they loved it, too! Super simple as well. Thanks for sharing!

My husband loved this dish- especially the second helping. Kids were less enthusiastic but enjoyed the spaghetti, anyway. I add sauteed garlic and onions per earlier reviews, and next time would probably reduce the eggs to 3.
