Thanks for sharing! A perfect carbonara has a sauce that is both rich and airy. It changes the meal.

This eggless penne carbonara is tossed with bacon, mushrooms, parmesan cheese and a creamy sauce. Creamy Carbonara is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s ready in 30 minutes! Cream defeats the purpose of a carbonara. Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish that is originally comprised of Pancetta or Guanciale ( kinds of Italian bacon), egg yolks, hard cheese, plenty of freshly ground black pepper and of course the pasta. This recipe, however, does not use egg yolks but rather cream and milk as a substitute to make it creamy. Nothing against cream sauces, I like them too, but they are a whole different thing. I liked the fact that there were no cream or eggs involved in this recipe.
But who’s always got cream on hand? With some sauces you don’t need cream, for example, a traditional Carbonara requires beaten eggs, pancetta and cheese, no cream. This authentic carbonara is quick and fairly … One bite of this pasta carbonara with cream and you’ll be dying to go back for seconds! This is an easy recipe for creamy pasta without cream. (Probably a good thing.) It’s perfect for me and my husband. I saw this on the Food Network show Quick Fix Meals the other day.

I had ham and mushrooms in the fridge and really felt like a creamy sauce. Hi Rachel, what I loved the most about this eggless spaghetti carbonara recipe was the fact that it can be cooked in just 15 minutes! If you make crappy carbonara, some cream might help. It isn't carbonara, but it is darn tasty. I've never used cream in carbonara, and never seen a recipe from a chef I'd trust that did. It’s perfect for me and my husband. When people outside of Italy think of carbonara, they usually think of pasta, often tagliatelle, smothered in a sauce made from slices of ham and mushroom in cream. Not me. The original, Roman spaghetti alla carbonara recipe is very different, however; it has no cream, no mushrooms and it is usually made not with tagliatelle but with spaghetti. It sticks to the noodles without puddling on the plate. Drop the pancetta, cheese and parsley, add some dill, salmon and cream and you have a nice (but heavy) meal. What is in Carbonara Sauce?
