Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
5 cups (about) canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel and drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from pan. Add butter and cook until butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes; mix in orzo. Add 4 1/2 cups broth; simmer uncovered until orzo is just tender but still firm to bite and broth is absorbed, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add cream; bring to simmer. Mix in cheese and thyme, then bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with additional broth, if desired.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the orzo was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit with my family and friends. It's a great dish for a weeknight meal or a weekend brunch. I usually add some chopped fresh parsley or basil to the finished dish for a pop of color and flavor.

This recipe is a winner! It's easy to make and the results are amazing. The orzo is cooked perfectly and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this aga

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste and the peas were a bit too sweet. I think I would prefer a carbonara made with a lighter sauce and a different vegetable, like broccoli or zucchini.

This was my first time making carbonara, and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the dish was delicious. I used fettuccine instead of orzo, and it worked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of orzo, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pancetta added a nice crispy texture. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different type of pasta.

This recipe is a great base for a creamy pasta dish. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to mine and it was delicious! I also used a blend of Parmesan and Asiago cheese, which gave it a really nice flavor.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and the flavor was good, but it wasn't anything special. I think it could be improved with some additional ingredients or spices.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also found that the orzo was a bit too al dente for my liking.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of orzo, pancetta, peas, and Parmesan cheese is just perfect. I like to add a little bit of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor.

Easy to make and delicious! I used baby spinach instead of peas and it was perfect. Loved the crispy pancetta.

This orzo carbonara was a hit with my family! The dish was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. I used копчёная грудинка (smoked pork belly) instead of pancetta and it turned out great. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice. Will defin
