hi MM. im no fan of carborana but when i tried martha stewart’s recipe, it became my instant favorite. you’re right, cream is not supposed to be in the sauce. adding fresh eggs just off the heat makes it more luscious. yumm-o! i did another version for hubby and the kids (they like their pasta with lots of cream). i replaced parmesan with quickmelt cheese and added a few spoons of fresh milk (3tbps).

it was perfect. it turned out like a baked carbonara. really so gooey

btw, i really love your blog. im learning a lot from it. hope you don’t mind me linking you up.

have a great day, MM!

Glad to hear you like our deconstructed carbonara at Pepato…by the way the best bacon to use is guanciale which is pancetta made from the panga of the pig…..really potent

edee, I am not a doctor so not qualified to answer that question. If there is any doubt about salmonella or other cooties in the eggs then I wouldn’t suggest this. Otherwise, make it with really hot pasta and that will probably cook all of the egg…while it will be a bit unsightly, as the egg will curdle, the taste will probably be okay… Perhpas a cheese, bacon and butter pasta would be an easier and less “raw” alternative for a 4-year old’s palate.

MM, will it be alright to serve this to a 4yrd old kid?…..I haven’t cooked this for my son yet cause of the “raw” egg…….

i’ve heard that carbonara has eggs on it and i often wondered how to incorporate the eggs into the recipe. though i’m not so fond of carbonara, my kids love it and i cook it at home all the time…with the cream of course, haha! now i can cook a proper carbonara. thanks Mr. MM.
