Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall recipes Spaghetti carbonara recipe

Comments

1. I have made this Carbonara several times and it is creamy and delicious! Don't stint on the cream. I have on ocassion used bacon instead of the ham and that works just as well.

6. Nooo!!! Carbonara is without cream!! you can't put cream in a carbonara sauce! I'm italian and in Italy nobody puts cream!

7. Putting cream in Carbonara is wrong! in fact makes the consistency claggy instead of silky and light as it should be

8. I am not sure whether to try the no-cream recipe or the cream recipe. Hmmmm.

9. Hugh, I really like your recipes and I think you are a great cook, but I wanted to provide a little clarification. Now Carbonara is one of the traditional dishes from Rome (where I am from) and I can assure you that Carbonara...the real one does not have any cream in it. SPQR

10. Nigella lawsons recipe is much nicer!! She fried her pancetta or lardons (sometimes I use sausages!)in garlic oil and glugs over some dry white wine, then tosses in cooked spaghetti and pores over 60ml double cream 4 eggs 50g parmasan nutmeg and black pepper- DELICIOUS , and even nicer in a bowl in bed !

13. Rather too wet - double cream is not a regular carbonnara ingredient. Should be dry. Mind you! yummmy for a change!

14. I totally disagree with the person who said nutmeg goes in a carbonara. No.

16. I made this for me and my fiance, i think for a start it is a deer spaghatti recipe as the parmesan cost ?3 per 50 grams. as only 4 ,2 of us i cut the ingredients in half and had it made in a very short time,but to be honest it was like eating watery parmesan. there was to much parmesan and it was far to strong of a flavour. also a lot stronger tasteing ham would have been better.i like my carbonara but not this recipe.

19. I don't bother with cream either. For two people I use three eggs, a good chunk of grated pecorino romano, and pancetta or smoky bacon. Fry the pancetta/bacon whilst cooking the linguine, then toss the linguine in the pancetta and fat, then add the eggs and cheese, stirring to coat. I reckon my version is much nicer than Hugh's.

20. Why do you have to put cream in carbonara!!!! it's pancetta,white wine,eggs,nutmeg,and spaghetti. No cream at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

23. As an Italian, I can assure that no cream is needed. Common mistake in UK though ;)
