Yummy! This dish is just what it says on the tin - its dead good, and dead easy. The whole family enjoyed it & my 17 year old daughter, who was pestering for me to make a carbonara, eat a huge portion.
A perfect supper dish.

Absolutely amazing recipe. Really easy to make (you can prep the creamy part in advance). Both me and my husband LOVED IT!!!!!

I have 5 boys who love carbonara, I usually fry some bacon & use a jar of sauce so thought Id give this a go as it looked so easy. I doubled the recipe & used an onion & creme fraiche instead of shallots & cream. It was lovely & the kids much prefered it to shop bought. I'll definitely be making this regularly.

Of you use Pecorino cheese it will be much better

Simple and tasty. I made the mistake of adding the sauce to the hot pan, which gave a bit of "scrambled egg"to the final dish but it was still great :-)

So quick and easy. I've made this lots of times and it's always worked.

Very very tasty and so quick and easy!! I don't even let myself think about the calories!!

I was worried the recipe was a bit simple and so may be a bit bland but trusted the reviews and tried it anyway...Fantastic, tasted great and really easy!

Lovely. Even my husband enjoyed it & he is not into pasta. We live in an area of europe where proper "English/Danish" bacon is not widely available, so I used what they called smoked bacon & a few slices of pepperoni sausage & added a few mushrooms. It was still tasty, but next time I will use smoked pork which is widely available.

This recipe was delishhhhhhhhh, my husband loved it!!
I added mushrooms to the dish.
Will definatley be cooking this once a week from now on, would highly recommend, so easy and done in no time so great if you want a nice meal and haven't got much time on your hands. I rate it 5*:)))))

Cooked this a few times and it taste better after each time. I use extra cheese and cream as I like it a bit creamier. I don't order it from my local Italian anymore as mine is just as nice.

Very good recipe, everyone at home truly enjoyed it. Instead of using butter, i started to slowly fry the bacon as soon as i put the water to boil. By the moment the Bacon had lost most of the fat i added the garlic and shallot, about the same time i added the pasta to he boil. The result was a crispy bacon with real garlic fragrance. As soon as the pasta was ready, so was the bacon. Also added some dry basil on top. Amazing taste, definitely going to be a regular at our plates.

just made this. It was very easy and delicious!! yummy

This is great! Quick and simple to do. The only thing I had to change was the quantities, which I doubled to be able to feed 2 people of my size!
