I am very sorry for the writer of this recipe but I have to make clear that the above exposed has nothing to do with the italian recipe of “carbonara”
There are so many difference in both raw materials and processes to be listed. Just a few: do not use bacon; do not use garlic; do not use onion; do not use parmesan cheese; do not use heavy cream… The only ingredients are: pasta, egg yolk, black pepper, romano cheese and pork cheek. It’s very easy and it’s a true nonsense making it different.
Cheers from Rome (Carbonara’s home)

It’s perfectly fine to use bacon in this dish, you’re looking for the saltiness from the pork, it doesn’t matter if it comes from a jowl or the butt.  Don’t nit pick, it’s a good recipe.

Thanks for your comments Simone and Chef. I appreciate the honesty from Simone,  I do not claim to be either a professional cook or an expert on recipes, just a mom who loves to cook and found this great tasting recipe from a friend of mine. And thanks Chef for your vote of confidence wink I will make this one again one day!  But will have to try to find an authentic recipe as well.
