directions

  • Turn on your boombox with some loud rock music.
  • Boil water for spaghetti as you normally would.
  • Mix egg yolks and cream together and set aside.
  • In a saute pan, place olive oil, bacon, and garlic, to cook over low heat, till bacon is crisp.
  • Make sure to cook the bacon very slowly.
  • When done, add shallots mix for half a minute or so, and pull from heat.
  • Drain pasta and place into a large pot or bowl.
  • Add bacon mix and toss once.
  • Add egg/cream mix and cheese, toss again.
  • These last three steps should be done very quickly to cook the egg mixture, and spread the cheese evenly.
  • Serve wilth freshly ground black pepper, a fresh salad, and a nice glass of wine.
  • My choice on wine is Johanisberg Reisling.
  • Rock on!

  1. I think it is safe to say I'm obsessed with this recipe. I have made it twice now and just purchased ingredients to make it a third, this time for my parents and brother instead of my boyfriend... I hope they like it as much as we do! I add a little extra cream and an extra egg to make it a little more saucy. Overall, it has delicious, rich flavor and is even great cold for leftovers. YUMMM.
     
  2. I'm glad you gave this recipe a title modifier (Rock and Roll) Carbonara. I am sure it is delicious with cream and bacon.Just to point out to the readers, that a true "Italian" catbonara is not made with cream. It is also not made with onions or shallots. It has only a few ingredients and they are: 1 Lb spaghetti, 6 oz pancetta, diced or cut into strips, 1 clove garlic, 2 eggs, 4 oz Pecorino Romano, grated, Extra virgin olive oil, salt and ample coarse-ground pepper
     
  3. Really good. My three year old loved it. I used an onion because I didn't have shallots.
     
  4. Very tasty. I through some grilled chicken breast in and it was great. The sauce wasn't as creamy as I had hoped, even though I increased the egg/cream mixture to almost double, but was still really good. It's a keeper!
     
  5. I like to pretend that the spaghetti is little worms and the carbonara sauce is special man-sauce

I'm half Thai. I typed in a bunch of stuff here, but then I went to save changes, and it said I wasn't logged in. Oh well. :)
