Kittencal's Classic Spaghetti Carbonara image

This is a definite Italian classic --- the trick to perfect carbonara is to have your spaghetti hot and mix in the eggs very vigorously so the eggs will not scramble -- I most always add in some cayenne pepper for heat but that is only optional :)

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much pasta water.

I'm not a fan of black pepper, so I used less than the recipe called for. It was still delicious.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a vegan egg substitute. It worked great!

This recipe is a little too simple for my taste. I like to add some vegetables, like peas or broccoli, to my carbonara.

I'm not a big fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It turned out just as good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the eggs.
