💡 Tips for Quick Pasta Carbonara
- • Let meat rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
- • Use room-temperature eggs for more even cooking and better volume.
- • Don't let garlic burn — add it after other aromatics and cook briefly.
- • Save a cup of pasta water — the starch helps bind sauces.
