That is why you add the half to full cup of hot pasta water to the bowl of whisked egg yolks before adding them to the pan.

Pecorino keeps forever, wrapped in waxed paper in your fridge drawer. Buy a big hunk or two and you'll be set for months. Ditto for pancetta: it freezes well. Believe it or not, I can get sliced pancetta at WalMart, and a passable (ungrated, in chunks) pecorino (Locatelli brand). Check your WallyWorld--you might be surprised.

Love Carbonara and versions of it. Makes me want some....now. Right now.

Looks great. How much saturated fat in that, more than spare ribs? Kidding. My wife makes great carbonara with pancetta. Sometimes the pancetta is excellent, sometimes it is rather average and not worth the cost, so no harm with bacon in my book.

I like to add peas
The wife likes peas in her Carbonara too. I didn't do it last night and got the "What? No Peas?" response from her.

We have quite a few bowls and use all of them. That may be foolish because several could not be replaced. However, we don't own a single bowl I don't enjoy using.
Blue Bowl was the only thing you got from her? (Hubby wasn't another?)

The fat content is whatever you get from the Bacon or Panchetta and the tablespoon of olive oil I add to the pasta water to give it some additional flavor (from whatever oil clings to the pasta when I drain it and whatever oil goes into the egg yolks for the sauce.
I am one of those people who never find fault with bacon.

I was kidding with you. Most times I have ordered it in restaurants in ATL it comes with way too much oil, of which I am not a fan.
One of the best prepared "processed" food products to me is 1.25 lb bags of cooked and crumbled bacon from Costco, which just happens to have a recipe for linguini carbonara on the back of it.

Costco - another thing Meridian does not have. I believe the closest Costco is Birmingham.
I'm sure I could buy 1.25 pounds of bacon and cook it. I might get the .25 pound part crumbled up and in the freezer. The 1 pound portion would be a goner about the time I got it cooked.
