    I prefer a good old fashioned carbonara. Pancetta, eggs and parmigiana. Nothing more, nothing less... and NO cream if you want to do it the real Italian way. Far surpasses alfredo in my humble opinion! :D

    :D awesome - my boyfriend is Italian and a chef, and this is how he does it back home and in the restaurant.... just put plenty of parmigiana in and the juices from the pancetta combine with the eggs and cheese to bind with the pasta and it's magic! :)

    FYI: Alfredo only has 2 ingredients; butter and parm. Pretty hard to find where to lighten that

    I always thought it was butter, parm, and heavy cream. (I usually get it in the jar.)

    Just butter + parm, no cream. Over the years, Americans added cream to it. Actually, alfredo sauce is an American thing, really. Butter & parm is an Italian thing. Italians are confused when you ask for alfredo sauce.

    Oh, ok! I did not know that. Interesting.

    Sooo...no one is going to comment on how 2oz of sauce is pathetically next to nothing for sauce?!? My poor pasta (or spaghetti squash) would be almost naked!!
    I agree. 2oz of sauce is 1/4 cup. I guess, to me, 130 calories for 1/4 cup of sauce is not really light on the calories. For others, this may be a good recipe. But I think I'll steer clear. Sounds yummy, though!
