comment What vegetarian substitute for prosciutto could I use in Carbonara?
not to be picky, but the carbonara recipes that use prosciutto are not Italian recipes.

comment What do I need to know when moving from an electric hob to a gas hob
notice that some gas stovetop ranges have a very very tiny burner, which in my country we use to make coffee. That tiny burner is a lifesaver for any recipe that requires simmering. It as also very handy for keeping stock hot when making risotto.

comment How to prevent overcooking of eggs in Carbonara sauce?
I will just add that if you sautè the carbonara in a pan, as it is suggested by the original poster and others, you get something that is perhaps safer (in a food safety sense) but is far from the original spirit of the dish. Do I need to cite an authority? Ugo Tognazzi.

comment How to prevent overcooking of eggs in Carbonara sauce?
this is the canonical way to make carbonara, and it never overcooks. The only problem is that, if you make with a small amount of pasta (say, less than a half pound) there is enough heat loss that the eggs do not cook, and so you have a carbonara fail on your hand.
