This was awfully good even though I used heavy whipping cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2 (it's what I had handy). Might that have accounted for the fact that there wasn't as much sauce as would have been ideal? I have only been cooking seriously for less than a year, so I'm still learning. I served this with Toasted Garlic Bread, available on the Allrecipes website and a spinich/artichoke dip I found elsewhere (as an appetizer, with chips and the garlic bread). If anyone has any ideas on how I can keep this from trending toward the dry side next time, I would appreciate the advice.

Absolutely delicious! I only added one egg as it was thick enough with the cheese. Loved by all!

Maybe I did something wrong, but I thought this pasta was disgusting. I actually threw it away and ate cereal for dinner. It's definitely possible I did something wrong, or perhaps I just don't like any version of "Carbonara" pasta. Other people seem to like it though, so maybe it's just me. If you make it be sure to have some cereal on hand. Just in case.

Okay, so I used fake bacon because I am vegetarian; spirals instead of fettucine; light sourcream in place of real cream; 3 eggs which was enough; used mozzarella instead of parmesan; left out the parsley...and it still turned out okay. Actually more than okay as my 19 month toddler LOVED it. I liked it too. It gets to stay in my recipe collection :-)

Yummy dish, but make sure to stir the eggs in for awhile to ensure their cooked and well-heated. I also chopped up an onion and fried it with the bacon. Add the bacon at the very last minute so it stays nice and crunchy, also sprinkle a few diced tomatoes on top.

This was delicious! I used penne pasta because it holds in a lot of sauce for each bite, and I also added chicken and peas. One thing, though, make sure your eggs really are room temperature and not still chilled. I was in a hurry and did not do this the first time I cooked this dish and the pasta was a bit cold. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good - I loved this recipe and I'm picky about my pasta. I added frozen peas to mine. It gives it a nice taste.

I found this recipe quite a few months ago and have probably made it over a dozen times. My 15-year old daughter loves it. The fresh sauce is loved by my whole family. An inexpensive and quick dish. Thanks Jackie for sharing it with us!
