Claude.ai PROMPT: Give me a recipe for making pasta carbonara using Alfredo sauce Unfortunately, traditional carbonara does not actually use alfredo sauce. Carbonara is made with a sauce derived from eggs, parmesan, pancetta or guanciale (cured pork), and the starchy pasta cooking water - no cream. Alfredo sauce, on the other hand, is made from butter, cream or milk, and parmesan - no eggs or pork. While you could certainly toss hot cooked pasta with alfredo sauce and crispy pancetta or bacon, that would not be an authentic carbonara. The egg and pancetta are what define the carbonara sauce. However, if you'd still like to try making a pasta dish that combines elements of alfredo and carbonara, here is one approach: Pasta "Carbonfredo" Ingredients: - 8 oz spaghetti or bucatini - 4 oz diced pancetta or bacon - 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks - 1 cup finely grated parmesan - 1/2 cup heavy cream - 4 tbsp butter - 1 garlic clove, minced - Salt and pepper to taste - Chopped parsley for garnish Instructions: 1. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining. 2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, and 3/4 cup parmesan. 3. In a skillet, cook pancetta/bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove to a plate. 4. In the same skillet, melt the butter with garlic over medium-low heat. 5. Add cream and bring to a bare simmer. Remove from heat. 6. Whisk in a few tablespoons of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. 7. Then whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the cream in the skillet. 8. Add drained pasta and pancetta/bacon and toss to coat, letting the residual pasta water help thicken the sauce if needed. 9. Garnish with remaining parmesan and parsley. This combines the creamy alfredo elements with the cured pork and egg components of carbonara. But for an authentic carbonara, it's best to skip the cream completely. Let me know if you'd prefer a more traditional carbonara recipe instead.

I tried claude.ai today & got fantastic results compared to other Ai's I've used (link). I asked about certain items in the TOS (term of service) regarding "sensitive" material because I'm writing a sci-fi war novel & it gave a very reasonable reply vs some other Ai's that just told me NOPE. I gave Claude the same prompt that I fed to all of the other Ai's (and saved in a word doc for review & analysis) and it gave me very similar results - even though the backend / LLM is NOT open.ai, META (Llama2), Mosaic, Falcon, etc. (See reply blow RE: what Brave's LEO Ai says about Claude's LLM.) I asked about character limits and it more or less said - none, depending on when I ask. I asked about prompt character limits and it more or less said - none. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I banged out a prompt that was 1 full page in word w/ narrow margins (my longest prompt ever)! I started with, "Write chapter outline TOC with lengthy chapter summaries for sci-fi novel about..." Then, "Continue and be as verbose as you can..." The TOC it gave me was 16 chapters, but it only gave me 2 pages (5 chapters), so I kept asking it to "continue" and it gave me one page at a time (2 more chapters), so I kept asking it to "continue" and it gave me one page at a time (2 more chapters) until I got all 16 chapters and 14 pages of IDEAS. That is the best experience I've had with any free Ai, but I have to assume that others might have done it, but I never gave them such a long prompt. I think I am getting better at the prompting, but I am such a noob! That's why I'm here... to learn how to really get some value from Ai for my particular need / use case. FUN stuff!
