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!

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.

I thought this was a good recipe. I used cheese tortellini instead of fettucine and I only used 2 eggs. I also added a little minced garlic to the bacon right before I was finished cooking it. A lot of changes, but it turned out really good!

I made this using regular milk for the cream and left the butter out. I'm sure it would have been creamier with those included, but for those who are looking to cut corners with fat and calories, it was still really good without that extra fat.

The flavor was not bad. I added half an onion and 2 cloves of garlic(chopped finely) to the mix to give it a bit more flavor. The only thing is, it took me a bit longer to cook than i had planned...almost an hour!!!! im not sure if im just a slow cook or the recipe??!?!!??!

I had never had this dish before I prepared it, so I can't really compare it to others. But I will definately prepare it again. It was a nice, simple dinner.

Very good, but sauce wasn't smooth. Maybe use fresh parm instead of grated? I added some garlic powder for flavor, but could have added more. Might keep the bacon drippings in the pan to add bacon flavor, b/c it seemed like the bacon flavor didn't have much time to dissipate through the sauce. Overall very good though.

Very nice and easy to make. Tasted great as well! I changed the recipe a bit though. I used single cream and skim milk more than what was stated for the double cream as we like pasta with sauce and not dry plus I used 3 eggs and loads of parmesan.
