Spaghetti Carbonara

It's one of my most favorite dishes, and I make it fairly regularly. This is the best recipe I've found for it so far, but I'm always looking for different ones. I use 1/2 pancetta, and 1/2 bacon when I make it.
Bon Appetit
I like it simple, which is why I like this recipe. Any recipes you guys really like? I have some pancetta in the fridge I need to use and will probably make it tonight or tomorrow night.

Meant to add that if you follow this recipe, a lot of the reviews mention it being overly salty. The only salt added is in the pasta water, so I always scale it way back and add salt to taste at the end.

Mine too. I use this recipe - its very similar to yours sans the amount of salt - but I add one more egg yolk than is called for, no olive oil, and lots of cracked pepper:

I have made that NYT one before. I found it on the thin side, but never thought to add another egg yolk.

That's what we like to do. It's such an easy dish to make. Big fan of using some pappardelle or bucatini instead of spaghetti.

That Bon Appetit recipe is great. I make it often and typically have the ingredients on hand without any planning ahead

I think I'll try the Bon Appitite recipe you posted without the salt.

Looks good.
My number one favorite is Cacio e Pepe

I like using Dagastino's spaghetti and I like the pasta cooling down instructions Dagastino has on the box. It cools the pasta down nicely and you don't make scrambled eggs out of your Carbonara.
I like this guy.. his recipes are usually spot on. Vincenzo's Plate

I made the Bon Appetit recipe for the game this morning and its better than the NYT recipe IMO. More sauce and thicker, and I used much less pasta water in the sauce. Thanks for the link The Spleen.

Where do y’all find guanciale in BR?

I’d imagine if you can’t find it, Galen at Iverstine could make some.
Love carbonara. Probably my favorite pasta. Vacillate between that and Cacio e Pepe

Don’t know about Baton Rouge but a while back I called Nor-Joe Imports, an Italian store and deli, in New Orleans. They carry Guanciale but were out of stock when I called. If you’re in New Orleans might be worth checking out. Guanciale is pork cheek. Walmart carries pork jowl which is pork cheek but it’s smoked. Smithfield brand.

Made carbonara tonight.
Wrights bacon, lots of garlic, 4eggs+1yolk, heavy on the grated fresh parm.
Let the pasta cool for a bit before adding the eggs.
Added a little of the hot pasta water to the eggs before adding to the pasta.
So creamy and delicious.
