Look, I’m no carbonara purist who’s going to tell you that you can’t put cream in your carbonara, but this….. Whatever this is… This is a fucking mess

Carbonara soup?
Dreadfull_PussyPull

look, i would eat it and probably enjoy it. but its all the pretentiousnes in display with none of the quality of the dish. make a good product and then maybe being fancy is a plus

This looks like whole wheat paste in cream, a raw egg yolk, cooked bacon and some parmezan.
Calling this carbonara is like calling spaghetti with ketchup tagliatelli al ragu.

No no no the pasta looks under cooked the egg looks awful and swimming in cream is gross. What is the green stuff looks like underweight tender stem broccoli!

Carbonara is not a soup.

Not a carbonara elitist but.. egg not incorporated into the sauce, equally likely no Parmesan or Pecorino in the sauce, what looks like bacon rather than pancetta, cream added… weak effort

C’mon… This is a saucy mess

It does look like porn was involved.

That could be a lot of things, but sure as fuck it’s NOT carbonara.

I like the idea of nesting the sauce inside the pasta like that. But if you add cream, its too different to be called carbonara. Carbonara also should have black pepper. More importantly tho, it looks like you added way too much cream and the sauce became soupy. The greens on the side are also kind of placed haphazardly, and I personally prefer grating the cheese instead of crumbling it.
I don’t mind using bacon myself. It’s always in the pantry after all and cheaper than the other options.
