“I have been making a similar carbonara for about 20 years, My son loves it, but now that he is an adult, I added the garlic and chili flakes. So nice with a refreshing change ;) I also omitted the onion and used chives instead of parsley.” — a cook, 5.0★
“Delicious recipe! I doubled it and wasn’t over powering. I did substitute a shallot for the onion and added peas at the end. My husband loved it, and we have leftovers for tomorrow. Looking forward to trying your other recipes.” — a cook, 5.0★
