What can I say ? There are clearly a lot of poorly informed people on these internets. I’m just happy to do my bit to restore the balance, and any chance to correct the use of cream added to a dish is a personal win in my book.

I think chicken nuggets are scientifically proven to be impossible to dislike, regardless of how little chicken there actually is in one, so you best be careful with that, but best of luck anyway :)

Did you know your post is one of only two that come up on the first couple of pages of a Google search that DOESN’T use cream? Or mushrooms?! I’m appalled!

Anyway, thanks for posting such an awesome recipe. Your instructions are very easy to follow. And, thanks to you and the lack of proper Carbonara posts, I’ve decided to post my own as well.

Actually, you’ve inspired me to make a chicken nuggets post as well…

Ooh this looks so good. I will have to try it now I can have “raw” eggs again. :)

We should have a race-off to see who can get to six posts first for the year. I’m still not on the scoreboard yet for 2010. Le Sigh. :(

Laura: I knew someone would slip something like that in… Just as well I didn’t include the word “authentic” anywhere… Lets just pretend that the word “traditional” implies a hint of nostalgia without a strict adherence to anything, and we’ll all get along fine. And it would appear the answer to where to find guanciale in Perth is either nowhere, or make it yourself.

Caitlin: Lovely post ! I will read and comment ! I’m glad I inspired someone to do something more than just gorge themselves on pasta for once :) Not that there’s anything wrong with that of course…
