It was good. If I did it again though I would use regular onion instead of sweet onion, I didn't like the sweetness it imparted to the sauce. I used fat free half n half to cut calories (and to use it up before it went bad) so mine was very thin. I imagine I could've thickened it with cornstarch but it was fine like it was, just added more cheese. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent recipe...I love Italian food and being a vegetarian this is one of the few recipes which is meatless but very good. I followed the original reicpe but added a lot of black pepper and it turned out just perfect.

This was wonderful! A perfect sauce. I did make a few revisions - I used 1/2 cup of whipping cream and 1/2 cup of milk - I don't like pasta that is too rich...I also added some chopped mushrooms, fresh diced tomatoes as a topping and I added a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce. The taste was wonderful and my husband was licking the plate! Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

This recipe is amazing! I even converted the recipe to feed 10 & it was just as delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, adding shrimp at the very end of cooking the sauce. Definately a family favorite!

I thought this was good but not spectacular. It was a little bland to me and tasted a little too much of parmesan. If I make this again I will whisk in an egg yolk like I do for Alfredo, add some tarragon, and more butter for sure. I'll saute some mushrooms in the butter with the onions first, before adding the garlic. It's a decent recipe but needs tweaking to suit me. My boyfriend liked it just fine so I gave it 4 stars.

Fantastic!!! After reading everyone's issues with thickness, and especially since I am a carbonara expert (Thanks Dad!), the best way to get desired thickness is a low flame for 20-30 minutes, constant stirring, and if necessary, 2 tbsp of cornstarch and 2 tbsp of cold water mixture. Other than the usual additions of shrimp, chicken or veggies, I wouldn't have changed a thing!!

Made the recipe exactly as stated and my son & I both found it lacking in flavor, rather bland. Disappointing since I made a special trip to the store for heavy cream, a sweet onion, and fresh basil.

The taste is AMAZING! I use this sauce on it's own with pasta and also in my 'white veggie' lasagna! Everyone raves!! The reason that I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it takes forever to thicken. It's weird because the recipe says to even reserve some pasta water in case the sauce is too thick and you want to thin it out. It makes me think.... am I using the right kind of cheese? It says grated parm cheese- that's what I use, the grated stuff. I'm not supposed to be using shredded parm, correct?! Hummmm....... It's great though!! :)

This was wonderful! Like other reviewers, I served this dish with some simple garlic chicken, which I quickly sauteed separately, and combined them at the end. Didn't use any pasta water; the consistency was perfect as it was. My fiancee didn't enjoy this meal, but that's because she doesn't like cream sauce. I'll make it again next time she's not around :)

No one in my family liked this except for my 3 year old son, who 100% cleaned his plate, which is highly unusual. My husband kept complaining it tasted too much like scampi, which he doesn't really like. I just didn't really like the taste too much. Sorry, won't be making this one again.

This dish was AWESOME! It seriously tasted like something from Olive Garden. The only thing I did different was that I added a small handful of mozzerella cheese to the sauce and I didnt use any of the pasta water. I also sauted some shrimp in butter and a clove of minced garlic and it turned out perfect! I will be making this one again and again!

This was really good and it tasted just like the pasta you'd order at restaurants. But it tasted like it was missing something...next time I'll add shrimp.

WOW! My family really loved this. I needed this for 6 and it converted very easily. I wanted to add chicken so I just cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces seasoned with salt and peper and cooked them with the onions and garlic. I also had some really fresh tomatoes so I chopped them into small pieces and added them to the top of the dish after it was on the plate. This made a wonderful addition. I will be making this a lot.

This recipe is so quick and delicious. I doubled the recipe and added a pound of shrimp. AWESOME!!! It's now the household favorite. Side note: the sauce was a little runny so I added about a cup of mozzarella cheese. PERFECT!
