It absolutely was Rach! :D And I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who had trouble with it boiling over! ;)

Mine boiled over too.
The other night I did 2 batches of this at separate times.
I realised that I only had 1 can of evaporated milk so I put half in each batch and substituted the other half with half a can of cream of chicken soup.
Came out awesome once again.
Yum.

Good idea using the soup MrsG. I bet that gave it a little more flavour too :)

Made this tonight and it was fantastic and so tasty. Added mushrooms with bacon. Had trouble with bubbling over to so reduced temp to 90c with mc off and gave it two extra minutes. Makes a lot and will try freezer some or reducing recipe by half next time. Great recipe  will be a regular in our house. Thank you.

Made this tonight, well, I tried to :-))
I added capsicum, peas and mushrooms for more vegies. I didn't have enough pasta so I added some noodles. Then it was so runny that it was like soup, so I've decided that I created a brand new recipe... Vegetable Carbonara Soup ;D
But it was still delicious of course! :D

That looks much better Amy. I am learning that if a recipe works, i need to leave it alone. I just keep forgetting ;)

Thanks Kimmy :D I think its that CRAFT disease coming back to haunt us again ;D I'm like you, sometimes I need to tame my creativity and just do what the recipe says :-))

I didn't think the photo would do the dish justice Kim, it's not exactly a pretty looking meal but it is tasty.  Maybe you could just make the sauce and pour it over separately cooked pasta but you would obviously need to reduce liquid quantities a lot. Maybe follow the recipe but forget adding the pasta and leave out the 550g water?  I will be reheating leftovers for lunch today so will probably have to add a bit more liquid and I will take a photo for you  ;D

Here's the photo I promised you Kim, added a bit of cream to loosen the mixture before reheating in the microwave.
