Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Fantastic recipe and did not change a thing. I made it for two servings which said 4 oz linguine. I plan to increase it to 5 oz since there was more than enough sauce for 4 oz linguine. This recipe is very simple and quick to make. Repeat for sure. Many of the recipes from this book are on https://www.aveceric.com/recipes

    I used pancetta instead of bacon and added fresh spring peas. It was easy and fast. I was afraid the egg yolks would clump if added all at once so I added a bit of the hot creme fraiche to the eggs to incorporate and added that back to the pan.

    We really did the homestyle version of this dish. We made our own bacon, made our own linguini, made our own crème fraîche, took chives from our herb pots, and bought eggs from a family up the road. I hold no personal relationship with the parmesan, it was from Italy, not from a family up the road. But perfectly adequate. Aside from the seven days to cure the bacon, and the 24 hours for the crème fraîche, and the little bit of time to make the linguini (all optional), this dish comes together quite quickly. And, it was lovely. I heard words at table, such as "fantastic," "terrific," etc. Can't ignore that. It's not your typical carbonara, as the crème fraîche lends a touch of a tartness. This actually balanced surprisingly well with the bit of sweet in our maple and espresso cured bacon. But rich? Oh, overwhelmingly rich. This is definitely a do-again. And again. And again.
