Carbonara with shrimps - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace shrimp with chicken, scallops, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
For a vegetarian twist, use smoked tofu, tempeh, or mushrooms for a similar umami flavor without meat.
Substitute the cream with coconut milk or cashew cream, and use nutritional yeast instead of cheese for a dairy-free alternative.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to refresh the sauce.
Freezing is not recommended as the cream sauce may separate. Fresh preparation is best for optimal texture.
Use gluten-free pasta and ensure all other ingredients (like bacon) are gluten-free certified.
A light salad or garlic bread complements this rich dish well. A crisp white wine also enhances the flavors.
Yes, substitute cream with a mixture of pasta water and a bit of butter or olive oil for a lighter, emulsified sauce.
Scale ingredients proportionally. For pasta, aim for about 2 oz (dry) per person as a standard serving size.
