  • We wanted a bulletproof version of this much-beloved, simple Roman pasta dish of noodles draped in a luscious, porky, cheesy sauce.

    Folks if you can't find those meats, buy pork jowls bacon, put in a bowl uncovered in the fridge for a week to dry, can use fresh jowls bacon but not as good, but both will work

  • @kareneddy2238

    Please do not Crack an egg on the side of a bowl!!!! Use a flat surface. Less chance of pieces of shell in your dish.

    this is too fussy- its wayyyyy easier to make and less finicky than they are making it out to be~

    Do not forget to taste the meat beforehand. If you use pancetta instead, it can be super salty and in that case you definitely should not add any salt (the cheese is obviously also salty).

    She didn’t cut the skin off the guanciale, the eggs weren’t tempered enough resulting in a runny sauce, and the pasta looked overcooked. SMH

    If you really want to know what the traditional recipe tastes like, you can sub in pancetta, but parmesan is a no-go. It'll taste ok, but it will be very different from a carbonara made with pecorino romano.

    Nice recipe, bad timing. Eggs are $8,000 right now!😂

    No need for oil!

    The 'proper' egg ratio is 1 egg for each person plus 1 egg for the pot. That's how I was taught to make it when I was living in Rome. It's also nice to add a little grated Romano on the top of each serving at the very end. That way, each person gets to how much cheese they want. Or, even use parmigiano (horrors!), if that's their preference. Also, I never found the need to add any pasta water to the sauce. We just left the pasta a little wet when draining it. Worked perfectly.

    Pasta Carbonara is one of my favorite winter dishes. It's hearty, creamy, cheesy and delicious.

  • @jhoang861

    i always wondered what’s the difference between adding parmesan cheese vs pecorino for carbonara after watching many other videos about this dish (i don’t eat many cheese), you’re the first to point it out! thanks!!
