The sour cream sounds like an interesting twist. I have made a lot of carbonara in my time but never with sour cream.

Since I have vegetarians in my house, will have to use the soy bacon, but it sounds really good either way. Thank you for sharing.

This might be to bad! I have never made this before and in reading recipe, it might pass the families taste buds!
