Cooking Tips

• Be sure to cook the pasta until al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when combined with the sauce.
• When adding the egg mixture to the skillet, be sure to remove it from heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the skillet while cooking the tomatoes.

Storage and Serving

• Tomato Carbonara is best served immediately while it is still hot and creamy.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the leftovers in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from separating.
