Salt often tastes different when added during cooking vs after
Btw, carbonara tastes better if you add the bacon and garlic to the pasta and water instead of the sauce after.
No
I think (hope) they are just describing this wrong, rather than adding bacon to boiling water at the beginning.
The sauce for carbonara is just some of the (salty) pasta water and egg yolk.
Cook the pasta until just before al dente, then mix the yolks and (fried) lardons in the pasta for the final minute or two of cooking. Add parmesan as you like.
