I actually wanted to give this a four and a half but unfortunately you can't : ). This sauce was pretty close to perfect, I don't have any real complaints. We made this with chicken sauteed in garlic and added some sundried tomatoes.

    I love this recipe! I modify it by adding 1/2 tsp of garlic powder as we are fond of garlic here. Thanks for sharing; I will be making this again and again.

    Can I only give it five stars???? This is INCREDIBLE! I even made it with margarine and the canned parmesan (sorry), and it's amazing. I'm pretty sure I would just like to drink it, and skip those pesky noodles! I just melted the margarine in the pan with the cream and added the other ingredients, and wow, is it good. And so easy too. No wonder your son loves this so much. I do too! Edited to add: It does reheat well, just make sure to whisk the mixture well so that it gets creamy again. The graininess will go away. Great recipe!

    I added bacon to make it more of a cream-style carbonara and it was fabulous! Served it over spagetti with garlic bread - Yum!
