2. Cook the fettuccine for 9-10 minutes, or till al dente. Drain and return to pot to keep warm.

I made a Cabonara once, for my family, but this one sounds very interesting, and I think I'll try this one, maybe today or later this week. Thanks for the recipe.

I did a recipe from Giada, but on the next try, I used less of the prociuto because it is wicked salty.

Sounds good, PapaLazarou.

I make mine with mostly egg yolks, and no cream. I also use pancetta instead of bacon, and like to throw a handful of peas in at the end.

It's one of my favorite quick & easy dinners.

Thanks SilverSage. Your Carbonara looks delicious and I will try adding the peas next time I make it:)
