I'm not a big fan of pasta, so I made this recipe with rice instead, and it turned out really well. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the carbonara sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, so I made this recipe with tofu instead, and it turned out really well. The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the carbonara sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was too thick. I think I'll stick to my own carbonara recipe.
