Spaghetti Carbonara

#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.

Always delicious

yum! :hungry

Delicious carbonara. :D

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. 🇮🇹🍝

There are hundreds of versions of this amazing dish. With cream or without? Whole eggs or just yolks? Pecorino, Parmesan cheese, or both? Guanciale, pancetta or bacon? This superb version is based on a recipe by food writer Daniel Gritzer.

This dish is easy delicious and easy to make. Pairs well with salad and garlic bread.

I forgot to take out meat to defrost , so instead of rushing or getting take out I just used what I had. Easy and tasty!!!
