However, make sure to use a small egg if you're using it whole.Adjust the amount of salt for the final seasoning, depending on the saltiness of the bacon. For 1 serving.

Carbonara Carbonara
We had a potluck at work a couple of days ago and someone brought in a dish that they called carbonara. Now, I'm guilty of being an experimenter myself and making carbonara that's not really carbonara, at least traditionally speaking (see mushroom carbonara, recipe posted previously). But the potluck version was way, way, way out there. In fact, another coworker said it tasted like chicken soup. Which is...weird, but also accurate. The pasta was actually good; it just wasn't carbonara. Anyway, this motivated me to make my own version, sticking much more closely to the dish's roots. The one concession made, out of necessity because it's not a readily available ingredient around here, is the substitution of bacon for the traditional guanciale. Bacon's good, but it's not the same. Don't worry, though, because the pasta still turned out creamy and delicious. Robert Gonzal -

#myitalian #worldonplateCarbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome. The ingredients consist of pancetta / guanciale (or can be replaced with smoked bacon), egg / egg yolk mixed with hard cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano and black pepper. Spaghetti is the most common pasta, but fettuccine, rigatoni, linguine, or bucatini are also used. Which kind of pasta would you prefer?If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel jenscookingdiary -

Linguine alla Carbonara 2.0 Linguine alla Carbonara 2.0
Less than a year ago, I posted a mushroom spaghetti carbonara on my Instagram. After discovering the math and science behind making a starchy pasta water during my Cacio e Pepe, I know I have to revamp this recipe. Hence the "2.0". Instead of mushrooms, I am using a very good quality chicken bacon for this version of carbonara.Traditionally, guanciale is used for carbonara. As you know, I do not consume pork, I have to improvise and use whatever ingredients necessarily. But if you are unlike me, please get your hands on some good quality guanciale. It will make a huge difference. One very important key note, do not, for the love of food, use any cream or extra cheese. The combination of egg and cheese is already enuff to make the sauce creamy, not forgetting the starchy pasta water.Pasta is very easy to make as it only uses a few ingredients. It is also very easy to screw things up with wrong techniques and extra unwanted ingredients. Less is always more when it comes to pasta and pizza. Because simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. For that extra oomph, I am using my cured egg yolks. You really have to give it a try. Daniel Lim
