TheBottomOfTheTop: This gif was much longer than it needed to be. The transfer of the pasta especially was frustrating.
WhyYouLikeCats: I get it, you’re trying to be authentic italian with such a super fine recipe. But, for the love of bacon, it doesn’t need fried in olive oil!
DeterministDiet: Not feeling it, dawg.
pyrosive: Using olive oil to cook bacon is just about the most Italian thing I’ve ever seen.

_Valkyrja_: Why put the salty pasta water on the food?
topdeck55: Suck it, purists. Near as makes no difference once you’ve eaten it.
art_hoe1: doesn’t look too difficult. might as well try it.
Gintoki-Katsura: Looks good don’t get all the hate.
batt3ryac1d1: Carbonara doesnt have garlic in it…
GWHITJR3: The egg parmesan… why???
Infin1ty: This is a satire post, right?
I_That_Wanders: Note – this will only work on medium-low heat. Take your time cooking the bacon, to develop the most bacony of bacon flavor in your bacon, and the garlic will poach rather than fry or burn. Also, the eggs will be a creamy-saucy wonder rather than rubbery bits if you scramble ’em nice and sloooooowww.
Low and slow, take your time, and you will be rewarded richly. Try to toss this together in 15 mins, and it will be crud.
