What can I use instead of egg in carbonara?

We use heavy cream and parmesan cheese in our carbonara, instead of egg, to create a silky smooth sauce that tastes just like traditional carbonara.

How do I store and reheat leftover eggless spaghetti carbonara?

If you somehow happen to have any leftover spaghetti carbonara, you can store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a frying pan over medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Or, you can simply microwave for about 2 minutes per serving, stirring halfway through.

What is a serving of spaghetti?

One serving of spaghetti is about 2 ounces. If you have a spaghetti spoon with a hole in the center of it ( like this one ), you can use the hole to measure out a single serving.
