I dunno about adding eggs like that, sounds risky. My mom always used cream for carbonara.
This was amazing! The flavors were just perfect. Will definitely make this again.
So glad you liked it! Pasta Carbonara is a classic for a reason. Can’t wait to make it again myself!
Too salty for my taste. Next time, less pancetta maybe? But I like the pasta part!
