Cathy79 - I added a couple of handfuls of sliced mushrooms to it. It was a bit disappointing. I've never had this type of carbonara before, so maybe this is how it's supposed to be. But I thought there was way too much spaghetti and very little bacon (or mushroom) for the quantity of spaghetti. Even if the proportions of pasta to "sauce" were better, I'm afraid it lacked something. After trying it, we added a little bit of my BBQ Sauce, which gave it a lot more flavour. But there goes the tomato free pasta. Also, the recipe doesn't state where to add the wine?
LisaR12 - we enjoyed it , not too heavy so it was easy to go back for seconds even my 5 year old wanted more.. I think more bacon and some mushrooms would be better. We also steamed zucchini ribbons on the top whilst the pasta was cooking.

drool!

This is obviously the gourmet recipe! ;) ;)
Would be worth trying them both out and then rating them for easiness and taste, would be interesting. Any volunteers?

Aussies tend to have a LOT more sauce on their pasta than the Italians. We like carbonara with oooooodles of cream.
It may pay to try bron's version - more like what we are used to I think.
-
I had a feeling that was part of it. I was surprised there was no cream in this recipe.
-
Cream and carbonara don't exist on the same plate in Italy ;) They use the egg yolks to produce the creaminess.
-
Yes and I like this version Thermomixer. The cream one is too creamy and rich for me.

Good to hear - like that you are willing to steam zucchini in the Varoma at same time -good work. :-* :-*
-
I just stumbled across this - looks great as a "lighter" alternative with no cream
When do you add the wine though? Am going to make it tonight, so if anyone can offer a quick response it would be appreciated!

I normally add it just before I cook it all...hope that helps.
