Pasta Carbonara

You can now find pancetta—Italian bacon—at many supermarkets, most often at the deli counter. Ask for it to be sliced 1/4-inch thick. Note: The eggs in this dish are heated enough to thicken them, but they don't get hot enough to kill any salmonella on the slim chance that the eggs are contaminated. Judge for yourself if this dish is safe for you or the people you are serving.Serves four.

Star Star Star Star Star by hrunge, 6/16/2009Recipe seems simple, but the eggs cooked and added an odd texture. Next time I would pay close attention to the instructions "room temperature eggs" and I'd add some scallions and a tad of garlic. Maybe that will bring the recipe to its fullness. May not be the recipe, but the human which was the difficulty.
