There's nee garlic in carbonara. And ya do use the pasta water. You've had a mare here with your scrambled spaghetti.For authentic carbonara the only thing binding it should be an egg yolk ,with the other ingredients of garlic, parmesan and a pancetta style protein.Any other additons with the exception of a spot of water from the cooking pot (though its not usually the done thing for this dish) to make it saucier is fine for personal taste but it is no longer Carbonara .
