Altered ingredient amounts. Double cream rather than eggs - 13 Jul 2009
Something else. I usually add milk at step 3, pouring it in while mixing the eggs and pasta until there's no more left. I also chop up the bacon into small pieces, about the size of your thumbnail. It probably wouldn't change the taste, but it's what I've always done - 08 Mar 2009
