I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my carbonara turned out terrible. The sauce was too thick and the pasta was undercooked. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

This was the worst carbonara I've ever had. The sauce was curdled and the pasta was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There are easier ways to make carbonara that taste just as good.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was bland and the pasta was overcooked.

The sauce was a little runny, but the flavor was good. I'll try cooking it for a little longer next time.

This carbonara was a little too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using less pancetta next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the pasta is always cooked perfectly.

Very easy to make and delicious. I used half the amount of pancetta and it was still plenty.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The pancetta was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and cheesy. Will definitely make this again.

This carbonara was a hit! The sauce was creamy and rich, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I added a little extra black pepper and Parmesan cheese, and it was divine!
