This Eggless Spaghetti Carbonara is the perfect way to get your carbonara fix without the eggs. And it’s ready in just 15 minutes so it’s the perfect weeknight dinner!
Spaghetti Carbonara is one of those classic pasta dishes that is straight up comfort food. Plus, bacon. Right? For some reason I have lots of friends who are a little freaked out by the thought of putting raw eggs into the pasta. While the eggs definitely get cooked by the heat of the pasta in traditional carbonara, they still get a little worried. Then there are the friends and family with egg allergies! I decided to come up with an egg-free version of spaghetti carbonara so that everyone can enjoy this delicious meal at my table.

Love this recipe. My wife doesn’t eat eggs, perfect for us.
I’m excited to try this! AddIng the raw egg has always stopped me from making Carbonara. In Step 4, the cream gets added to the skillet? Want to make sure I’m making it right?
Thanks!
Yes, that’s right!
So happy I found this! My mum has an allergy to eggs. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Love this recipe. It tastes great and is easy to make!
I made this last night for my family, becasue the raw eggs freak me out. This was delicous, would highly recommend, i did add about one cup of cream and extra cheese. Was so so good, can’t wait to make again.
I made this tonight and we all loved it. I added just a bit of reserved cooking water from my pasta (about 1/4 cup) just to give it a little more sauce. I love a traditional carbonara but this is a great alternative. It’s always good to have some quick recipes like this for those busy nights.
When did you add the pasta water to the recipe? I’m excited to try this version!!
I didn’t add any pasta water to this recipe because I have the cream, but definitely can add a scoop in if you like the added starch.
That’s exactly how i cook my “carbonara” .. eggless .. since 1990!! The same with my “tiramisu” .. also eggless! Not a fan of raw egg at all! ??
Oops .. forgot to rate it ..
Hi Rachel, what I loved the most about this eggless spaghetti carbonara recipe was the fact that it can be cooked in just 15 minutes! It’s perfect for me and my husband. Thanks for sharing!
No.. Carbonara without eggs? Please. It’s not carbonara.

Did you read anything I wrote about why I created this recipe? Did you watch the video where I talked about it? I LOVE traditional Carbonara, but I also know people in my life who needed an alternative. I never claimed this to be traditional Spaghetti Carbonara. It’s an eggless alternative for those that need it.
**Mic drop**
Or for people like me who tend to curdle the egg when making a traditional carbonara sauce because I usually tend to cook the sauce for too long, which is the trick with egg-based custard sauces…to cook the sauce just long enough to neutralize the salmonella and other nasty buggers but not so long that the eggs start curdling. Also even if I manage to get the sauce right…..reheating the leftovers in the microwave tends to lead to the same “bits of scrambled egg in the pasta” effect.
Well, said, my grandson hates eggs, but loves this dish, thank you
Thank you! I have an egg allergy
My son has an egg allergy and he loves this. Thank you!
I also have an egg allergy! I love eggless recipes like these 🙂 Thank you, the Stay at Home Chef!
Awesome! Thank you. My son and husband cannot have eggs. We have to make a dairy-free version too, so I am going to use your recipe as a starting point. 🙂
My son is allergic to eggs, so I’m really happy with this recipe.
But for people like me who are allergic to eggs this is good choice. I developed an egg and seafood allergy after I had a stroke when I was just 33 so eggless dishes are welcomed here!
So good. yummy
