Well, at least you know the difference between pancetta and guanciale, and that if you had the second one it would be correct. But even pancetta might be better than none. What else is in that?

I also don’t have a grater so I minced the cheese:(

As far as I know, carbonara with penne is a perfectrly acceptable variant: I do it this way myself, since they’re easier to stir compared to longer varieties of pasta. Without any meat, though, it’s more like mac’n’cheese

Some people prefer the more subtle taste of the parmigiano. It’s never a mistake. The sauce does look right.

This doesn’t look shitty at all, looks like a tasty meal.

I will say the consistency of the sauce looks good so other than missing the guanciale it’s whatever. Also in Italy some places do use a rigatoni or penne instead.
