It’s a similar story with this recipe here. As much as I am used to eating pasta every day when I was living at my parents’ house, things have changed since I moved out. I started replacing pasta with other dishes several times a week. Carbonara is one of those popular pasta dishes that I eat only once in a while, not too often. So when I saw this recipe, my first thought was: Wow, now this is a different way to serve it for a change! The only difference is the additional ingredient, which is cream. The original carbonara comes with eggs (to be more precise, with yolks), parmesan and bacon only. That might have been too dry though, especially after baking it. So I think that the cream does make a difference in this case.
And, of course, my favorite part of this recipe is the crunchiness that comes with it! Doesn’t it look like you wanna take a bite right now? Be careful though, you don’t wanna leave them in the oven too long, or the spaghetti will be hard to eat. As you can see in the pictures, I left them in the oven a little longer. I guess I got a little too carried away with my crunchy-mania ;)
