Make sure to REPIN this recipe
Have you ever had a carbonara before? It is so lovely – if you did not know there is egg in the mix – but it like coats the pasta and cooks a little – it is very good
I have no idea who came up with such an idea – but it is pretty brilliant – I love adding the bacon to the mix as well
I used Turkey Bacon to cut some of the calories and fat in the dish
This recipe is pretty inexpensive to make – one item no pictured is the olive oil I used – I like using a little olive oil in the egg mixture to help the egg mixture adhere to the pasta
This recipe is VERY easy to make – about 15 minutes of real cooking time – there is about 10 minutes for the pasta to cook as well
You should reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water – pasta water is the water that the pasta cooked in – it usually looks a little white – that is the starch – youwill be using the pasta waterif the pasta becomes too sticky
This picture is a little dark but here is my dad mixing the pasta and egg mixture together 🙂

Great easy to use recipe and so tasty. Quick to make and my 11 year old hungry daughter liked it. Will make it again for sure. Thank you

What’s the 1/2 cup of pasta water for?
Sara
If the sauce is too thick – add a little water to loosen it up — so it will vary each time
Genevieve
How many does this serve? Love your site! 🙂
Sara
6 — enjoy 🙂
Tasha
Do u whisk the eggs first?
lindsay d.

Once I made this my daughter has to have it at least once a week. It is so good , like all your recipes. Thanks
Sara
I made this for my family so I double it. The only problem that I had was that it calls for grated parm which is the kind that comes in the can. You show in your pics shredded parm but I went ahead and followed the recipe as it was stated ( I like to do that the first go round and then make adjustments later for my taste). It was way to much grated parm so I defiantly think it needs the shredded parm instead. I will for sure make this again with that adjustment. I will also be not so heavy handed with salt in my pasta water. I ended up making my dish to salty since I normally salt my pasta water. Thanks for the recipe I know it will be wonderful once I do it this other way. 🙂

I didn’t have bacon on hand but I did have ham so I substituted. It was fabulous. I’ve had carbonara many times in my life and I must say this was one of the best. I recently had it at the Cheesecake Factory and they had added peas to it. I gently pushed the peas to the side!

[…] It’s winter, and lately spaghetti carbonara is getting a lot of attention in my house. This is a quick and easy version that works great for weeknights. I usually add extra bacon, because I’m an extra bacon sorta person. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe is here. […]

Can I use milk and cream instead of oil and eggs
Angie Gaillard
This is probably one of my favorite receipes!!! Love it! I cook it about once a month. I’ll admit I use pork bacon:)
