I absolutely love this recipe. Not a pork eater, so I substituted with turkey bacon and couldn't imagine it being any tastier! I also consider the white wine a must, not "optional". And I probably used more Parm than called for...I always do! It was really great.

OMG! Added a bit more bacon and extra garlic. Better than we had in Rome at a local's restaurant less than a month ago. A MUST. Include the wine.

Fast, cheap and a nice taste. :D

Recipe is a good base recipe. I made the following modifications: 1. Used two eggs and two egg yolks and 1/4 cup of cream 2. 3/4 cup of parmesan mixed in egg mixture. 3. Nutmeg added to egg mixture. 4. Added crushed red pepper to onions and browned the onions a bit.

This was pretty tasty as well as quick and easy!

Really easy and yummy. I didn't have any wine, so I left it out. The first time I made this I wasn't a fan because my eggs seemed to cook too much. The second time turned out great, making the dish very creamy. It did seem a little bland so next time I think I will add some lemon juice and a little basil as suggested by another reviewer.

This is really good, BUT you have to be really careful not to cook the egg in the sauce. I used half a pound of bacon and about 3/4 pound of thin spaghetti noodles. I sauteed the garlic and onion in the same pan in which I had cooked the bacon (I reserved about 1 T of the bacon fat for flavor). Once the garlic and onion were translucent and slightly browned, I deglazed the pan with the win. This is key! It helps you get all the great flavor out of the pan. I used about 1/2 cup of chardonnay and let it cook slightly until it was a bit reduced. I combined the eggs, salt, pepper, and cheese in another bowl, beating the eggs before adding the rest of the ingredients. When the pasta was cooked, I mixed it with the wine mixture AND the egg mixture without putting back on the stove. Remember: The egg cannot cook; it will curdle and turn like scrambled eggs, NOT a sauce - you don't want this! I reserved some pasta water and added back to my spaghetti to make a creamy sauce. You really have to eat this fresh; reheating cooks the egg too much. I left the leftover on the stove for my mom, but it got too hot and curdled, so be warned! If you do this right, it's delicious and good enough for company; eat with crusty bread and a side salad for a complete meal. Oh, and don't forget the wine! :)

less onion

This recipe is so easy to make and spot on, portion wise. I did combine the parmesan with the eggs and also warmed up the eggs in lukewarm water before whisking together and pouring over the spaghetti. My husband loved it and it is now part of my menu! Thank you for a great recipe.

I've never had Spaghetti Carbonar before but I love bacon, onions, garlic, eggs and parmesan so I thought I would try it. It was delicious! The eggs and cheese make the sauce so creamy and rich. Not to mention the smokiness of thebacon- so good! I didn't change anything on the recipe since there were so few ingedients I made sure to use high quality ingredients and i think that made a big difference.
