The sauce should be very creamy with the eggs hardly set. Too often Carbonara

sauces are grainy because the eggs are overcooked. If you work quickly the eggs

can be tossed with the pasta after it has been taken off the heat - there should

be sufficient heat in it to cook the eggs to the right consistency.

 

ChupaNote: if you're worried about the eggs being cooked enough, use pasteurized

eggs such as Eggbeaters.
