question

Anyone know if this is OK to keep and reheat the next day? I’m a bit wary because of the cream, thanks

Hi, Yes you could reheat this the next day, you may need to add a splash of milk or water if the cream has thickened too much. Lulu

The other reviewers are much less lazy than me, I'm just serving up with tagliatelle - cabbage instead of mushrooms sounds fine to me! But I'd happily have this with just potatoes instead!

Absolutely delicious and very quick and easy to make. Had as a side dish to roast poussin and roast baby new potatoes.

Bacon makes everything better and this is really nice, could just eat it on its own but that would seem a bit odd so used it as a side to a steak

tip

This was really good. I like a low carb lifestyle and this is low carb but high flavor. Its gotta be savoy cabbage so it can stand up to the heat and being tossed in the pan with the cream. I would add a couple of egg yolks to make it more creamy and more traditional and traditional carbonara isn't…
