I didn't care for the texture of the sauce and I found it to be rather bland. I'd skip it.

I forgot to add that authentic carbonara also doesn't have milk. Three eggs will make a nice sauce for it.

This was good, however, authentic carbonara is better. To make that leave out the yogurt and use 3 eggs instead of 1. It is so much better that way. I like that is has spinach instead of romaine which is how I make my B.L.T. carbonara. This way is more healthier. I add more spinach and the kids don't ever care that it is there.
