Are the yolks supposed to cook once they're put in with the pasta? Or stay runny?

They might cook a tiny bit from the residual heat of the pasta, but mostly the yolks stay runny and coat the pasta. If you prefer a hard-cooked yolk, cook the eggs in the skillet till the yolks are to your liking. Enjoy!

After drooling over this recipe for over a week, I finally delved into it. I didn’t have capers- so in tradition of Carbonara I substituted Peas instead. I also used a basil and tarragon in place of rosemary- I am not a fan of rosemary at all. It turned out amazing. I do feel capers would’ve completed this dish- cleansing the palate bc the egg and cheese really coat each bite! I am looking forward to making more of your dishes! As an Italian American- these kind of dinners provide a comfort long gone! I miss sitting at my grandmother’s table and eating dishes just like this! Thank you so much for what you do!

Whenever my partner goes out of town, I make this recipe for dinner. Delicious, warm, comforting. I grab a book, glass of wine, put on music, and am happy. A go-to for many years. It’s become a ritual.

I have been making this dish for ten years now; it’s what comes to mind when I hear “comfort food.” I use whole wheat pasta (my taste preference), and sometime substitute preserved lemon for the zest, but other than that, I make it as directed. Thank you, Rhonda35!

So glad you've been enjoying this recipe and made it a permanent part of your repertoire, Sarah! I like your idea to use preserved lemon - trying that next time.

Quite delicious. I added a tablespoon of a homemade furikake spice mixture to the pangratatto instead of rosemary. I will be making again.

I love furikake but wonder why you would use it in a quite Italian dish?

Personal preference I guess, plus I wasn't thinking about the origins of the dish. I was making a single dish for lunch just for me. Furikake with seaweed, sesame seed, and bonito flakes gives a depth of flavor that plain rosemary does not.

Glad you enjoyed it, Terry. If furikake spice works for you, then go for it - call it "fusion food!"

Apart from the wine, a carbonara substitute that pregnant ladies can enjoy! I am absolutely making this...I want carbonara!!!

Just made this great recipe! Thanks. Couple of things I am going to change for next time. One: going to set the yolks aside to ensure they don't get over cooked. Two: the stated amounts are for one, but doubling made way too much, so going to go with 1 and 1/2 times amounts. Thinking about a small amount of cream as well. Excellent dish.

I love this recipe and have made it many times. I typically add lots of arugula or spinach, whatever I have on hand. I find I always need some of the pasta water, perhaps I go too easy on the olive oil. Easy and highly addictive!

This sounds fantastic! I love pasta dishes whose ingredients I usually have on hand. And like some others, I use whatever parsley-equivalent I have on hand. Thanks.

I made this last night- delicious! Doubled the recipe and added a squeeze of lemon at the end. Didn't have parsley, so I used cilantro- yum! Any herb would be great!

This is just such a great dish! I have now made it three times and I cannot explain how comforting it is. I always make too much and serve it in a large bowl which I then take to the couch and cradle. Love love love!

I would PAY someone to make this for me. The photography is proof that shot well any food is appealing.

Add bacon if you like. Use whisked uncooked eggs, stirred in with the hot pasta they will cook right up!

This is amazing. AH. MAY. ZING!!!!!
I added extra an extra clove of garlic (I’m a fan), a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice at the end! Second glass of wine already still nomming on the pasta it’s a winner! Pure bliss!

YAY! Always happy to have another convert. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I like your last little splash of lemon juice at the end - good idea!

It amazes me that I enjoy the story that goes with the recipe so much that I want to try making it myself. This was a delightful back-story. You can rest assured that I will make this savory, eggy recipe some time soon.

I'm thinking about making this for breakfast. Why not? Though I supposed I'd have to forego the wine...

I printed out the recipe and I am going to give it a whirl. I'm not much of a caper fan and wonder if it is necessary to have? I love the idea of adding pancetta to it. This recipe made my mouth water from the beginning and I am brainstorming to add in some of my favorite things as I love pasta.

I made it but added chopped up and fried some pancetta and used that as one more topping.
Came out great!
I'll be making this again and again.
