  I made mine with Spagetti but I think Linguine would have been better. I also added a small onion and agree that this was a good addition. I think I would add more liquid next time too as it was a bit dry and stodgy otherwise a nice dish.

  Made this for my son who loves carbonara - but had to use what I had in the fridge. Replaced pancetta with chorizio, used 1egg and two yolks and very mature chedar instead of parmisan and also a small onion. As suggested by other comments I added the meat mixture to linguine prior to egg and cheese. Delicious and so easy and absolutely no cream - bonus.

  Ok, maybe not an authentic carbonara, but it is very easy and very very tasty! It's a firm favourite with us!

  I really enjoyed this dish however, if i was to make just one change it would be to use no pasta as it tasted pure raw !!!!!

  I was making this just for myself and it's difficult to know how to quarter 1 egg and 4 yolks. Is the whole egg even essential? I tried using 1 egg and 1 yolk, with 1 tbsp of cooking water as someone else suggested and it turned out way too runny. Tasted like cheesy egg yolk. Would be good if GoodFood listed all of their recipes as "Serves 1", so it's simple to double/triple/quadruple up.
