EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Carbonara is an Italian dish of spaghetti with a sauce of cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese and bits of bacon.

For an authentic Italian preparation, use pancetta instead of bacon. Pancetta, a cured meat, is imported from Italy and is similar to bacon.

Love the recipe, I have made it multiple times. My family likes to add a little bit of our own ingredients, mostly other vegetables, like peas and corn.

My family and I love this recipe. I cooked the chicken in the bacon grease and then added the cream straight to the pan so it would soak up the goodness from the chicken and bacon. I also add some extra pizza cheese into the sauce beside just having the parmesan cheese. I've made this twice now and will be making it again soon.
