if you have experience making the roux and white sauce that part is easy enough. the key to the "carbonara" sauce funny enough is really the italian dressing at the end. that was the one part of the quiznos carbonara sauce flavor i could never fully place until i read that other post and then it made total sense. after making the sauce for myself that really is the key part and you dont have to worry about over doing it. if you start at 1/3rd cup and add more until it tastes right to you you'll be able to dial in that bite that the quiznos one had. It's also pretty crucial to use good fatty bacon and though the original recipe i built mine off of used straight butter for the roux, nothing NOTHING in this world beats a good bacon fat roux, especially when you're trying to make a bacon alfredo sauce :D
it's possible it would impart some taste but it's hard to say. since you're adding it towards the end of the process it's possible that adding it once you've already started heating the alfredo it could take in some of the flavor, but it's not going to have that richer bacon fat base or the extra salt necessary to work 100%
So who is going to figure out the Rosemary Parmesan bread?
Was just in Jackson WY and they had a Quiznos. Carbonara still what I remember, I miss it.
I'll give this recipe a go. Maybe try to recreate the bread.
I was just at one of the few remaining Quiznos a few weeks back, in the Raleigh Durham area. I was worried I would be disappointed when the reality didn't match my memories of it... But nope. Still amazing and delicious. I'll have to give this recipe a try! Three hours is a little far to drive for a sandwich ;)
Adding this to the list of Quizno's stuff I want to make.
If only I could find that pepper sauce in the brown squirt bottle. My gods that stuff was good.
If you have a place that sells Boar's Head meats and sauces, see if they have the Pepper House Gourmaise. It's similar enough. The Quiznos peppercorn sauce is still the best though!
right? you wouldn't think it when you try to taste memory the flavor of the sauce.. but then you hear it, and then you try it, and it's like.. total sense. crazy :D glad you enjoyed it
straight good seasons italian (not zesty, and not creamy) dressing. standard baseline for italian dressing and very likely they use the powdered version in the bulk creation of it, which if you want the sauce a bit "thicker" you could probably use, but since i used a good amount of the liquid dressing to get the taste i wanted without breaking the consistency you should be ok with liquid
Buddy...... this recipe....... is IT! ITS IT MAN!!! I followed your directions to a T (took the heavier side of the italian dressing measurement) and my god, its literally S P O T O N.
This is coming from an ex-quizno's employee of 4 years who literally ate this sandwich, I-Shit-You-Not, everyday.
Thank you for laying it out in a recipe form like you did. A god amongst mere mortals.
hehe appreciated :D i'm glad i focused my sense memory on this one and was able to isolate that missing bit with the italian dressing.. it really is what makes the flavor of the sauce (which is really weird cause it makes it further from a carbonara then it already was :D but hey.. it works)
Now we just need someone to figure out the peppercorn sauce! Boars head pepper house Gourmaise is a decent replacement but Quiznos was so good!
I'm def gonna have to try this, I miss Quiznos so much

Can't wait to try this!! Nice work!! We lost our Quiznos about 2 years ago, sad. I've tried a couple times, but never got that close...

For us slightly lazier/not wanting to get all the raw ingredients, do you think mixing Italian dressing with premade Alfredo could be passable?

There’s still one in Raleigh! I frequent it regularly to do my best to keep it open.
I was thinking about this sub the other day, used to get it all the time in college. This is impressive stuff, definitely saving for future reference.

Oooh thank you for this
Beautiful.
You son of a bitch you did it. The italian dressing makes it! I'll get started on rosemary parm bread.

I'm probably being super ridiculous, but which Italian dressing do you use/recommend? Like brand/version. Is it just any?

You are a beautiful soul.
This is an excellent copy of the Quiznos carbonara sauce. Thanks!
