Lucinda's Spaghetti Carbonara image

Basically, this recipe is nothing more than bacon and eggs with pasta, and many versions of it exist-some with the addition of cream and sometimes wine and parsley, too.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound spaghetti
1/2 pound bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and cook the spaghetti. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until just crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Skim off some of the fat. Drain the pasta, add to the bacon in the pan, and toss to combine.
  • Whisk together the eggs, cheese, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour into the pasta, and combine thoroughly. Serve immediately with extra grated cheese, if desired.

I would not recommend this recipe. There are much better carbonara recipes out there.

This recipe was a total disaster. The sauce never thickened and the pasta was overcooked.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would be better with some added spices.

This recipe is way too rich for my taste. I'll have to try it with less cheese next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really oily. Maybe I used too much olive oil?

I added some chopped parsley to the sauce and it really brightened up the flavor.

I love that this recipe uses pancetta instead of bacon. It gives the dish a more authentic Italian flavor.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover bacon.

My first attempt at carbonara and it was a success! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and delicious. Will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I used a little less cheese than the recipe called for, but it was still plenty rich and flavorful.

Just made this for dinner and it was a hit! The sauce was rich and creamy, and the bacon added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
