For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

This was quick and simple to make. The sauce reduced a bit too much for my liking, though it still tasted good. Better luck next time I hope!
This was a hit with the
This was a hit with the family. I made a few small adjustments - omitted the egg (just because I forgot), added some sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets (next time I will add the broccoli in about 5 minutes after the rest of the ingredients) and I didn't add the salt (everyone just added it to taste). The other thing I did was pan fry the bacon for the first 10 minutes of cooking time and then added it in with 5 minutes to go. The pasta pieces got a bit broken up for my liking - I used penne - so I might pop the butterfly in next time to see if that helps.

This is a favourite in my house with so many variations possible. Tonight I added 1/2 onion and 100g sundried tomatoes at step 1, and forgot the egg (oops) but was so delicious and creamy the kids went back for more, that I will omit egg in future.

You could use milk, but you'd probably need to add some more pasta as the milk is thinner than the cream Why don't you try it out and see?

Turned out perfect except the egg scrambled but still yummy. Will add egg differently next time. I used ham as don't like non crispy bacon and added capsicum and brocolli. Has a true carbonara taste.

Best Carbonara I've ever
Best Carbonara I've ever made. So easy I used spaghetti and doubled the recipe and added mushrooms was great. Thanks for sharing.
this recipe works well. I
this recipe works well. I prefer not to are cream so substituted a can of carnation light n creamy (380g) plus 270g water to make up total fluid content of 650g and it worked great. Thinking I might adapt and use some mushrooms as well. I whisked egg in a small bowl and left the mc in so that it would drizzle into bowl.
So simple and easy.....We all
So simple and easy.....We all loved it. I had 20 min and this was just the recipe to make and with the basic ingredients...with salads..perfect
Great recipe, surprised how
Great recipe, surprised how simple it was to make, and how delicious it turned out. The only alteration I made was the addition of one onion, and less salt (as my toddlers were having it too) and I doubled the pasta (no alteration to the liquid amounts).
thanks!
Fantastic recipe. Have made 3
Fantastic recipe. Have made 3 times now and turns out so well each time. Yum!

Certainly not as good as
Certainly not as good as traditional carbonara but sooo much easier and cleaner. The kids thought it was pretty good.
Will make again when want a quick and easy meal for the kids. I used onion as well and sauteed with bacon and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients.
My husband made this for
My husband made this for dinner tonight. He added an onion, increased pasta to 250g and cream to 300g. It was delicious!! My 7yr old son and 2 yr old daughter also loved it! Will definitely make again!!
This is great! It's my 5yo's
This is great! It's my 5yo's favourite dish.
I add an onion in when I chop the garlic.
I use curly fettuccine snapped in half and double the amount. Increase cream to 300g
Omit the oregano, salt and bacon as we are vegetarian. Instead I put mushrooms and greens either snow peas, zucchini, brocolli, baby spinach, or a combination.
I add Parmesan cheese when I add the beaten egg.
YUM!!! It takes restraint to not make this every week!
Anyone tried making a version
Anyone tried making a version of this recipe using milk instead of cream & water??
I made similar in thmx last night, by cooking onion/garlic/bacon and then a EDC Béchamel sauce + cheese... and mixed it all together... but I boiled the pasta on stove rather than cook it all together like this recipe because wasn't sure how it would go cooking in the milk. Any ideas ????
I saute'd the onion, garlic
I saute'd the onion, garlic and bacon for a few minutes then added everything. I set the timer for 14 mins added the egg and continued for another min. Then realised I need to add the egg at the 13 min point, oops! I did have slightly scrambled egg but after greating the cheese over the top the kids or Hubbie didn't even notice...
My fussy eater who turns his nose up to everything ate the whole lot! Thank you for posting a lovely recipe. Will deffinately make again, but will read the recipe twice before cooking!
I was looking for something
I was looking for something quick and easy tonight and found this recipe. Yummy and very little effort required!
I used 250gm of pasta and increased the water to 500ml. I would probably cook the bacon on the stove next time first, but only because I am a crispy bacon person
Made this for the first time
Made this for the first time tonight- great! Kids said it was amazing, and so fresh from what we are used to doing for carbonara . Thankyou. I will definitely make this again
I got my machine yesterday
I got my machine yesterday and wanted to cook this tonight! If I use fresh pasta (which usually takes 2 mins on the stove), what do I need to adjust for this recipe? please help!
*newbie*
Made this tonight after a
Made this tonight after a customer was raving about it. Yep, everyone loved it, even my fussy kids, super easy too. I also doubled the pasta and added a heap of mushrooms and used stock paste instead of salt. Thanks for posting

I thought I had commented on
I thought I had commented on this recipe already but I'm going to again for reference. This is one of our favourite recipes but I double the pasta and maintain the same amount of liquid. I only add the egg in at the last minute. Have also used fettuccini snapped in half. Yum!
variation; used fresh pasta (fettuccini) and added only in the last 5 minutes. Also added chopped sundries tomatoes just before the egg. Maintained the liquid amount in original recipe. I do think that fettuccini works better then spiral or penne as it seems to hold its shape better.
My most used recipe, but I
My most used recipe, but I have never tried to double it - some hints would be great. Do I just double everything except maybe less water??
hi i made this last night , a
hi i made this last night , a double batch and added 20 percent to the cooking time .II added 150gm lge pasta shells and the same quantity of raviloi i need to use up .. think next time i make it ill not add soo much water as i was pretty runny.And i had to add lots lots cheese to try to thicken up.It was absolutely delicious and even better the next day thanks for the recipe ...
I had the same problem as
I had the same problem as Tracey - runny and scrambled, but I figure that's because I doubled the recipe (not sure if that requires double water amt too??) and should have let it cook a bit longer first and stirred in the eggs once the dish had rested a bit???... It went down, and I'll probably try again another time...
