I'm making carbonara but I only have 2 eggs.

Can I substitute butter and/or olive oil? Normally I use 4 eggs.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 3 09:03:04 2023 No.18766060 >>18763667 forgoe making the sauce in the pasta and just make a cheesy eggy bechamel instead. if it's too runny just throw it all in a casserole dish and bake it for a bit and add more cheese. it would be like a white ziti or something.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 3 21:59:39 2023 No.18767643 Idk how many servings are you making but yea just add some butter if you don't have enough eggs, why not
