No it doesn't. I usually have to stir for a few minutes on medium to get a creamy sauce.

Why would you use eggs when you can just use cream? Seems kinda weird to just pour raw eggs on noodles. Also

Just make french scrambled eggs and mix in the cheese, fried bacon and boiled spaghetti.

Actually the heat of the pasta water is what ultimately helps cook the egg as it emulsifies.

Cream has a lower specific heat capacity than water, by a degree of almost 75%. So you end up with a sauce that coagulates and gets colder, much faster. It's why alfredo fucking sucks, and water emulsion sauces are superior.

You don't even want the egg to fully cook in carbonara. If you fully cooked the eggs you'd end up with spaghetti and scrambled eggs, which I have done several times and it sucks.

You should just be using the yolk in carbonara. Its fine

>Why would you use eggs in an egg-based dish?

>>17498822
This guy gets it. You're basically making a savory quick custard on pasta.

>>17498892
I prefer to do a mix of whole eggs with some extra yolk personally, I find the end product has a bit more body which I enjoy. Either way not sure what that has to do with OP's bait. Using whole eggs or just yolks won't change the fact that dumping egg over pasta straight off the boil and stirring it like crazy will in fact cook the eggs.
