This dish was a bit too rich for my taste.

I wasn't a fan of the lemon zest in the sauce. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

I found the sauce to be a little too thin. I would have liked it to be a bit thicker and creamier.

I'm not a big fan of carbonara, but this lightened-up version is actually pretty good.

I used whole wheat linguine to make this dish a little healthier.

This was my first time making carbonara, and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the dish was ready in no time.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. It makes the sauce creamy and rich, but not too heavy. And the addition of lemon zest gives it a nice brightness.

This linguine carbonara is a game-changer! I've always been a fan of traditional carbonara, but this lightened-up version is just as delicious and satisfying, without the guilt.
