Sounds like the OP wants the cream version. Got an approach?

(Me, I like the non-cream, non-veg, purist version, despite my usual anti-purism tendencies....)
With the exception of first sauteing the panchetta most of the guys I know handle it like an Alfreddo only they dont add egg. Years ago before health issues were so important Alfredo and carbonara were both egg oriented, but even back then it was a matter of taste and where you came from.
