We certainly enjoyed this dish, made it as instructed. Still felt it needed more vegetables than just the parsley and the sauce wasn’t thick enough because you are asked to put in so much chicken broth. Will make again with less chicken broth and green beans or zucchini. Sadly, my husband thought it was bland (except for the tasty bacon), but he’s not really a white sauce guy. I loved it.

Loved it! I used penne instead of linguine (just cleaned out the pantry & found 4 packs!) The sauce was the perfect consistency to ooze through the little tubes & squirt out as I bit into them. AND the whole family ate it. Scraped the pot clean!!

It was perfect! I was a little dubious when it was coming together, especially because the pale sauce was looking kind of sickly under my hideous kitchen fluorescent lights (I didn’t have any parsley)… but oh my gosh! Rich and creamy and delicious. The leftovers 2 days later were also amazing. I definitely recommend using the parsley to help it look more colorful.

I have made this several times and have forgotten to review it! This is absolutely wonderful. We call this Breakfast Pasta at our house (Bacon, eggs, cheese…). =+) Thanks for sharing!

I have made this a few times now and it’s great! I always feel that I am doing it wrong as the sauce seems too liquid, but when I get to the serving it’s perfect.

I have made this several times now and it’s really a great – easily put together and very tasty! One of my friends even asked for it for her Farewell Dinner at my house

This recipe is delicious, don’t get me wrong… I just think it could use a little “sprucing up”.
While I was making the pasta recipe I roasted some asparagus in the oven, with some Montreal steak seasoning on top.
Just as everything was coming together, I sliced the asparagus down to 1″ pieces. I mixed it in while I was tossing the pasta. YUM!
My official rating of this recipe would be 3.5 mitts. It’s just soooo heavy and rich! And fattening! Holy moly, my waistline is crying as I type…
Alas, it’s very delicious!!!
Try it, you’ll like it!

This was pretty good. Added some red pepper flakes and chicken to give it a little something extra!

I burned some of the bacon pieces and was afraid it would ruin the dish, but no….it was still fantastic! It was very flavorful, even though I didn’t use the wine. And, no, as other reviewers have pointed out this is not a low-fat dish but this is a classic and it just wouldn’t be carbonara if you took out the fattening good stuff. I just had it for dinner and I plan to eat it for breakfast. Another reason it gets five stars–my 3 year-old loved it!

My husband orginally had this dish at a restaurant when we were in Italy. Ever since we’ve been back he wanted me to make it. I saw this recipe on Ree’s blog from Pastor Ryan and I couldn’t resist making it. My husband loves it!

My daughter and I made this for dinner tonight. It was really good. We both like a little spice so we added some cholula sauce when we tossed in the pasta. It was just the right thing.

Over the past year I have made different pasta carbonara recipes and they were good. Last night, I made this recipe and all I can say is that I am going to get sooooo fat! We are going to eat the leftovers on Monday after work and I may make some more next weekend, and the weekend after and probably the next weekend as well. That is how much my wife and I liked the recipe. Instead of Linguine, I used angel hair pasta, I also used thick sliced bacon as well.
In case you have not figured it out from the previous paragraph, this is gosh darn good and satisfying in so many ways. The flavors just explode in your mouth.
Thank you fro sharing this recipe.
