Kittencal's Classic Spaghetti Carbonara image

This is a definite Italian classic --- the trick to perfect carbonara is to have your spaghetti hot and mix in the eggs very vigorously so the eggs will not scramble -- I most always add in some cayenne pepper for heat but that is only optional :)

This recipe was a complete disaster. The sauce curdled and the pasta was overcooked.

The carbonara was a bit bland. I think I'll add more garlic and pepper next time.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could be improved with some clearer instructions.

The carbonara was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I used a vegan egg substitute and the carbonara still turned out great. It was a delicious and cruelty-free meal.

I substituted pancetta for guanciale and it worked out great. The carbonara was still very flavorful.

I was worried that the carbonara would be too heavy, but it was actually quite light and airy.

The guanciale gave the carbonara a rich and smoky flavor that took the dish to the next level.
