This was a fast meal to throw together after a busy day! I made the recipe exactly as stated, but next time I will definitely saute an onion and throw in a bit of minced garlic for added flavour. My dh thought it a bit on the dry side, so I remedied that by stirring in some 10% cream at the end to produce a carbonara he was more familiar with texture-wise. Made for Let's party Dec '09.
