One of the better ones I have seen but still a lack of creamy white sauce sticking to the pasta.

8/10 good job.

Authentic carbonara typically doesn’t get much white sauce as it doesn’t use cream.

You don’t put “creamy white sauce” in a Carbonara. That’s how you ruin it.

Pretty sure he meant creamy yellow sauce as in emulsified pasta water with pork fat, eggs and cheese. I would also say there could be more of that, still looks great tho

Yeah one of the main problems with authentic carbonara is the sauce very quickly dries up and loses its gloss. I promise it looked even better moments before this photo 😅

Yeah I know that issue. Helps if you make it a tad runny with pasta water and the net it sit in the pan for 5 or 10 mins before serving. Needs a bit more patience but it turns out way saucier

I’m always a bit hesitant on adding too much liquid but I’ll give it a go next time, thanks!
