[@VenetiaLaManna_]

I lost count of how many times I said “bless you” while watching this.

[@thehappypear]

Hahahahaha thanks Venetia! 😂😂

[@janetkenworthy1729]

I suggest starting with the onions then adding garlic. Garlic burns very quickly!

[@thehappypear]

I like that burnt garlic taste 😄👍🙌

I made these with quick home made sesame milk. Just add 50 grams sesame seeds to 200 ml water and blend. I made 4 portions, so you can go easier on the sesame if you need less. The recipe becomes significantly fattier, so I just skipped the oil and water "fried" the garlic and onions. It came out delish. Honestly I missed carbonara among the most since moving to veganism, but this recipe is just awesome and makes for a good replacement!

[@karentemplesnow8960]

It's all very well cooking from You Tube, but nothing beats a REAL cookbook, made of paper and photos, that you can write in additions to the recipies. I'm buying your book! Old School! xx

[@jennyy123021]

I only had portobellos in the house and I used sunflower seeds instead of cashews for my nut allergy and it was delightful! Thank you for the lovely inspiration!

[@thehappypear]

Ah Jenny youre brilliant! 😄👍🙌

[@plantplanetearth509]

My son LOVED this! He wanted this 2 days in a row! He wanted green peas instead of mushrooms.

[@thehappypear]

Wow brilliant to hear! 😄👍🙌

[@laurenlarmanis9230]

Wow everyone needs to try this dish! It's hands down the most tasty/flavorful vegan pasta dish I've had thus far, especially considering it took no longer then ten minutes to cook! Thanks boys, better than dairy carbonara, 10/10

[@TessaAndrews]

Thank you for these simple and quick dish ideas! I can't stand a cook going too slow to explain something simple. You guys get straight to the point! And I'm a "straight to the point" kinda gal when it comes to cooking meals!

[@janelee2678]

Tried this and loved it. Got a bit worried about the sauce but, it all worked out perfectly. Thanks guys 😊

[@thehappypear]

[@asjadupanovic]

This is better than the real thing, guys!!! You totally nailed pasta carbonara and made it even better! Thank you endlessly, as carbonara used to be my favorite pasta and I almost caught myself ordering it not long ago just to have a bit of that taste!! Your recipe goes beyond everything carbonara ever provided for my heart

[@thehappypear]

Ah no way thanks million delighted you enjoyed!! 😄👍🙌💚

[@rhijulbec1]

First~"gesundheit" x 4! 😂 Second~that looks brilliant! Creamy, steamy, delicious! Third~keep up this wonderful, great looking food. I like the fast, easy meals in my advanced(ish) years, 😂. Forth~I'll be ordering your cookbook for my daughter. She will love these quick and easy recipes for she and her partner's very busy lives. He's not 100% vegan~yet. But if I know my girl he will be soon. And for me. I read cookbooks as others read a good mystery. Except there's no murders and I get to eat what I read about! Cool! Looking forward to it.

[@thehappypear]

Super to hear Jane youre fab! 😄👍🙌

[@patty-cf7jj]

I’ve tried all kinds of vegan cream sauces and I find a combo of cauliflower and cashews is the best although i suppose it couldn’t be done in 5 minutes because the cauliflower needs to be steamed or boiled first.

[@thehappypear]

Sounds delish! 😄👍🙌💚

[@fluffybunny7840]

Just ordered the new book! This recipe is fab! Thank you for sharing!

[@Dibdib35]

Bless you! Hope you’re better soon. This looks delicious, gonna try it😀

Looks so good! So for the shredded cheese, did you use your Parmesan cheese recipe?

[@natalietamar]

Happy Veganuary! This looks delish, thanks lads! All the best for 2018! 💖🦄🍉🍇😗

[@thehappypear]

Wishing you well Natalie! 😄👍🙌

[@lizmednick3842]

Instead of liquid smoke I use a splash of peaty whisky. It's a lot cheaper in the end, and I think more flavorful.

[@louisecarey4135]

Hi, I am trying to transition from a heavily animal based diet to a vegan diet. I am absolutely loving your channel for inspiration and the ease, simplicity and deliciousness of the meals that you make. I love carbonara and the only dairy-free carbonara sauce that I've found so far, contains pieces of bacon! So I will definitely be trying to make your version of carbonara! Also could you tell me if your new book is vegan? I see that is says "veggie food" on the cover but doesn't specify vegan...?

[@thehappypear]

Yup it'll be completely vegan! Keep up the fab work! 😄👍🙌

[@janelee2678]

Can’t wait to try this 😊

[@kimberlyh5868]

Oh I feel your pain! I was a sneezy mess all of last week... hang in there! Awesome recipe 🎉😊

[@thehappypear]

Thanks so much Kimberly 😄🙌💚

[@lindas.martin2806]

hi, what type of cookware do you recommend? Stainless steel, heavy duty aluminum, other, and the non stick or? I only have a few aluminum and need to switch as almost everything burns fast. Thanks!

[@thehappypear]

We mostly use non stick but everything really really varies 😄👍🙌

[@kennethfelipe823]

I think you could totally use firm tofu instead of cashews. I know the cashews taste better, but I'm going with what I have. Thanks for the recipe and you better believe I'm going to put a bunch of basil in this. I also cannot wait to buy your book. Your recipes have helped me so much in transitioning to a vegan. I thank you. You guys have made me a lot healthier.

[@thehappypear]

Sure you could!!!! Ah thanks a mil for the support 😄👍🙌

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Coconut cream Will be great with it?

[@thehappypear]

Sure give it a try!! 😄👍🙌

[@squeaksbuffeteria564]

Bless you Dave.

[@thehappypear]

Hahaha cheers! 😄👍🙌

[@tamcon72]

Bless you, Saint David of Tamari! Hope the sniffles pass soon! ; ) Never liked Carbonara when still a meater, but I can't seem to get enough of vegan Carbonara recipes now, as each one is different from the next and they all seem to be delectable. TFP, gents!

[@thehappypear]

[@thehappypear]

[@SuperPrincessMaddie]

I made this for dinner tonight and YUMMY!! 🙌 Really, dudes, I've had a few vegan carbonaras and this one is the best yet!! A true belly hug 👍 l posted a photo on Instagram with a Happy Pear 🍐 tag.

[@MicahGoring]

Great video guys! Do you think you could swap chickpeas for the cashews in the sauce?

[@vilkoskorlich259]

This recipe is the real thing. It was brought to Lazio from Umbria by coal men (carbonari), who came to sell charcoal to the Romans. Since then it has been adopted by the Romans and is famous worldwide. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente. Ever wondered how to make the traditional carbonara sauce without all that nasty cream and fake sauce? Italians never use cream, milk or any such thing in their carbonara Ingredients to use for 2 people: - 90/100 gr of Guanciale or Pancetta - 3 Eggs - 80 gr Pecorino Romano (cheese) - 1/2 tsp Black Pepper - 1/2 tsp Salt - 200 gr Spaghetti So simple! Isn't it?

[@ruthnolan1960]

Any suggestions on where to buy liquid smoke in Dublin?

[@shirleykump1551]

Where can we get your cookbooks?

[@naturesweety]

Oh yeah Super Yummers!! LOVE creamy pasta dishes! Bless you, Dave. Hope your cold hits the road soon :o)

[@jaynesixx2185]

The Happy Pear No worries dudes 😄 I am making your greek yoghurt recipe next month.

[@celticlass8573]

Holding in that many sneezes surely has resulted in the loss of 1 or 2 brain cells. ;) Looks seriously delicious!

[@zoemarieking]

This isn't really related, but where is the best place to get large amounts of nuts cheaply for recipes like this? (UK based)

[@DanaMorelia0]

ok i'm italian so i'll tell you how to do a 5 minute vegan carbonara, carbonara is only eggs, guanciale, black pepper, salt STOP so for a vegan carbonara you can use tofu+ vegan cream for the creamy consistency and smoked tofu for the guanciale, add a bit of tumeric and black pepper to the cream and stop, that's it!

[@rachellejennifer1264]

Under 5 minutes is incredible!

[@thehappypear]

Thanks Rachelle! 😄👍🙌

[@lifeofaimee6259]

Oh wow guys, you certainly pulled a FAB dish off today....must try...what could I use instead of cashews please?

[@thehappypear]

You could try another nut or sunflower seeds 😄👍🙌

[@annak1371]

Thank you

[@thebellaluna]

OMG! This looks amazing! Next dish for me to try ...thanks! :)

[@thehappypear]

Let us know what you think! 😄👍🙌

[@thebellaluna]

Will do! :)

[@ju4joy]

Hey guys. Do you think Portobello mushrooms would work too? Thanks a million 😃😃 a big fan here from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@thomasrichardson5425]

defo wouldn't have as good a flavour, but it would work. shitake mushrooms have a very distinct flavour, if you've ever tried them, they aren't like any other mushroom!

[@ju4joy]

Thomas Richardson - Thanks a lot Thomas. I love Shitake, but it’s hard to find stuff where I live at moment.. we kind of need to adapt haha.. anyway I’m enjoying use portobello mushroom in different ways now.. very taste too :) I might try it soon and leave a comment here!

[@Anikoxx]

I often have Portobello mushrooms in my pasta dishes

[@thehappypear]

Any mushrooms will work 😄👍🙌

It is sooooo goood!!!!

Looks delicious! One of my favorite meals when I was a meat-eater

[@thehappypear]

Such a good one! Let us know how it compares 😄👍🙌

Is nose gravy part of the recipe? :p I'll check out that book.

[@thehappypear]

Sorry about that! Thanks a mil 😄👍🙌

[@LishaJoya]

my favorite vegan brothers are at it again! my question is what can i do since liquid smoke triggers seizures? my son has them...how can i still make this - yet not trigger his seizures?

[@thehappypear]

You can just leave out the liquid smoke 😄👍

[@LishaJoya]

thank you :)

[@vanb6705]

Yay!!! Go Wild guys.

[@serinat2181]

Who kept sneezing? Dave or Steve? Bless Dave(I think it was Dave!) 🙈

[@marykaren7542]

I couldn't handle the sneezing either....

[@thehappypear]

Dave had the sniffles! 😄👍🙌

[@serinat2181]

The Happy Pear Aww bless Dave! Same here! How is he now? 🤗🙈👌💖

[@alisonmike2912]

Guys this can't be right, I've just watched Kay's cooking do a vegan carbonara and it looked nothing like this and she's a professional 😂

[@HelenMelon222]

If using actual spaghetti rather than noodles would it still be 200g? Would it be spaghetti for about 4 people? :) Another fab recipe thanks!x

[@thehappypear]

Absolutely Helen! Thanks a million 😄👍🙌

[@HelenMelon222]

Just made it and even my meat eating parents loved it!😁👍🏻

[@bellaorizzonte5604]

Think you burned the garlic, by the color... Ow always fun to see you cook!

[@thehappypear]

Love it!Thanks Bella. 😄👍🙌

[@jeannerose9238]

@happypear - trying to preorder your new book from the states and only the kindle edition is available. What to do???

[@kennethfelipe823]

I was looking that too. Click the link, but international rates apply

[@thehappypear]

The us pre order for the book isn't out yet we'll let you know when it is! 😄👍🙌

[@kumuphu]

I don't know how you guys don't burn your mouths. 😳 My taste buds would be ruined for days. 😃 Great recipe! 👍

[@thehappypear]

Hahahaha we're just used to it! 😂😘

[@ThinkingSpeck]

Heads-up, folks - if you're using the kind of liquid smoke that's made from actual smoke, use a LOT less of it. We've just found that half a teaspoon (2.5mL) is a bit much, and that's still like a twelfth of what the recipe calls for. Still tasted amazing though, just a bit stronger than we'd normally go for.

[@sarahstephenson4305]

Yeyey 🤤🤤 can’t wait for tea tomorrow night now!

[@thehappypear]

Whoooo enjoy!!! 😄👍🙌

[@ayanaemerald5515]

To the twin that was sneezing feel better lol. And I have a bunch of mushrooms I have to use up lol I’m gonna make this

[@thehappypear]

Thanks Ayana! Let us know how it goes 😄👍🙌

[@sammyjocatlady7551]

I've heard it's best to add garlic at the end of any cooked dish...

[@a.block.of.tofu.]

Any ideas if i don't have cashews?
