Recipe Review

7th January 2011

sturlington from Hillsborough, NC

Carbonara is one of my go-to meals, so I was curious how this recipe compared to the one I usually make. It was very light on the eggs. I halved the recipe to make the dish for 3 people, which meant I used only one egg for a little over 1/2 pound of pasta. It tasted fiine, but I think I prefer my recipe, which calls for 3 eggs.

I really like the way she has you cook the bacon, by first sauteeing whole garlic cloves in oil and adding a little wine at the end. It tasted good. She doesn't specify whether to pour off the fat, but I ended up pouring off most of it before adding to the pasta because I didn't want the pasta to be greasy.
