I make this on a bi-weekly basis because it is so delicious, yet simple to master. Thank you for the lovely photo inspirations!

This looks so good. I haven’t had carbonara in forever! I used to work at an Italian restaurant in the kitchen and we would make each serving to order using a similar method to the one you use here (we would use only the egg yolks). It was so simple and yet soooo good. I’ll have to have this again soon. Thanks for the food porn!

I’m right there with you! I’m totally guilty of going to my fav restaurant Superba Snack Bar down the road and getting it there because they put a sous vide egg on top… I could easily save myself $23. 😉

“A hearty salad nearby helps this indulgence find its way into a semi-regular spot at our table.” This sentence just sang to my soul… it’s nice to feel I’m not the only one who does this.

Oh I love carbonara so much! I agree with the convenience of not having to the grocery store for this dish, you can’t beat it. I actually make my carbonara without using the pasta water. I’ve found that if you hit the hot pasta with a bit of parmesan cheese, toss quickly and quickly add the egg, the sauce avoids scrambled eggs and is a bit richer than when I add water. The recipe is on my website if you’re interested in checking it out. Thanks! – Charlie

I just made this for dinner and it was so delicious! Took me back to my first Christmas in Italy, when I was fresh and there to stay for two years. Thank you!

I still remember when my mother first made classic carbonara (just eggs, bacon, and parmesan) when I was a child. I couldn’t get enough of it! To this day I love this simple dish…and there really is a bit of magic going on with the few ingredients being turned into such a gorgeous sauce. Love indeed!

I ordered carbonara a long time back when I was in Italy and I was shocked to see bits of egg in there. I thought they curdled the sauce! Oh so young and naive…

I know it’s a heated discussion but I haven’t seen that one! I’ll check it out. My carbonara that I enjoyed eating in Italy was without cream.

Did you ever see the cream, no cream discussion on TheKitchn? http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-authentic-spaghetti-alla-carbonara-recipes-from-the-kitchn-170893
I grew up in Switzerland, so the closeness to northern Italy makes me cook my carbonara with cream. I love carbonara!

Carbonara is always on rotation at my house as well. When I’m making macarons or anything else egg-white heavy, carbonara is the perfect place to use those leftover yolks. Delicious every time.

there are so many ‘wrong’ carbonara recipes around the web that it is refreshing to catch one that looks like “the real deal” 🙂 Plus it looks delicious!
Have a nice weekend!
