There are many Carbonara variations out there but the traditional or Authentic carbonara does not use cream, garlic, herbs or #spices. It is still creamy because of the of egg yolks + grated #pecorino romano.

Suffice to say, the dish is traditionally very simple and fast to make. Authentic recipe requires only 4 main ingredients; pasta, #egg #yolks, guanciale (or bacon or pancetta) and pecorino #cheese (or you can also use #parmesan/ parmigiano).

My kids love pasta especially carbonara. With the traditional version, they find it creamy but not #creamy enough. So to feed them with their favourite pasta, i have to get creative 😅 ; my version of carbonara with #milk + Cream (or cream alone); it is super #creamy and #cheesy. This is our family not-traditional take on carbonara with of course some extra ingredients to make it super rich.
