Italian Cuisine at Home! Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara
This is a special recipe developed by carbonara lovers: me wishing for pasta once a week and my husband who used to work at a pasta chain restaurant.
Be sure to remove the pan from heat when pouring the sauce into the pasta for a creamy texture. This will allow the eggs to cook very slowly when it hits the hot pasta but it’ll prevent the eggs from scrambling. For bacon, I recommend a block rather than thin slices. Garlic is optional but we prefer to use plenty, following advice given by my husband who worked in "Ninniku-ya Goemon" (a pasta chain restaurant named after “ninniku,” which is garlic in Japanese).

Simple Pasta Carbonara Simple Pasta Carbonara
Aiming for a healthier but rich pasta carbonara, I've been researching measurements that use less cream.For the pasta, make sure to minus 1 minute from the cooking time indicated on the package. This is because it will be heated again when combined with bacon From step 3 onwards, I recommend you remove it from the heat because the egg mixture will dry-up when it's heated too much. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add 50 ml of cooking water from the pasta at step 3. For 2 servings. Recipe by Bi-jo -
Easy Carbonara Easy Carbonara
Usually, carbonara is made with cheese, black pepper, eggs, and panchetta (salted pork), but I decided to make it simply with things at home.I have listed an egg yolk, but you could also use a whole egg. 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. Recipe by FarmersK -

Simple! Delicious! Authentic Pasta Carbonara Simple! Delicious! Authentic Pasta Carbonara
I was very surprised with the difference when I ate pasta carbonara in Italy.Who first added cream, the Americans? Or the Japanese?Anyway, this classic recipe is really simple and has a rich taste.■ Boiling in well-salted water will result in a chewy texture very much like the pasta cooked in a professional kitchen.It's not effective to season the sauce after transferring the pasta to the pan and pasta will become overcooked in the process.■ If the eggs don't coat the pasta well due to low heat, heat a frying pan, remove from heat, add the pasta in Step 7, and toss well to blend everything.

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara Spaghetti Alla Carbonara
I've always liked carbonara, and I was a bit surprised to learn later on that the original Italian recipe uses no cream but only eggs. Normally the recipe uses guanciale or pancetta but finding either in this time of quarantine has proved impossible so I just used plain old bacon. This also includes my canonical method for cooking bacon. 🇮🇹🍝
