    Very easy to put together with a big win at the table. Agreed on others to add some extra tomato and a little extra sage. Filling and delish. Serve with a salad or green veg.

    This was delicious albeit very rich between the three types of cheese and the pancetta. Echo the comment about adding additional cherry tomatoes. Mine came out more like a carbonara pie instead of a tarte as I baked mine in a springform pan as I didn't have a big enough oven-proof skillet. There was some leakage, but I put parchment paper underneath, so it was fine. I did drain off some of the fat from the pancetta before tossing in the spaghetti and cheeses. Would make this again but likely on a weekend as it took a couple pots/pans, some grease cleanup from the pancetta, plus the boil and bake time (40 min).

    Excellent, easy dinner. I almost cried at the kitchen table when, for the first time ever, my five- and three-year-old boys said this was the best dinner I have made. Might up the sage next time as I could not taste it...and I would add a few more peak season cherry tomatoes...but then the kids probably wouldn’t like it anymore. Anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn’t change a thing.
