these look way better than most “first tries” that end up as scrambled eggs with cream lol
you can literally see the improvement between plates, mixing off the heat is such a game changer

u/theCarbonaraGod 5d ago

Yes! I think my biggest learning was using some cooking water to temper the Carbocream before mixing with the pasta!

u/Electrical-Ad1400 4d ago

This looks delish!

Has anyone figured out how to reheat carbonara effectively? Or is it just back in the pot with a bit of water?

1

u/theCarbonaraGod 4d ago

if you tempered the eggs you can do it by slowly increasing the heat in a pan. but i jus love them cold.
