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.

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:

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 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.
