SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA: THE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE



Spaghetti alla Carbonara: the Traditional Italian Recipe image

This dish was created in the Lazio region (the area around Rome) in the middle of the 20th century, after World War Two. We don't use cream, milk, garlic, onions or other strange ingredients; we use only guanciale, eggs, pecorino cheese, and lots of black pepper (carbonaro is the Italian for coal miner). This isn't the Italian-American version, it's the real, creamy carbonara and it comes right from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito.

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound guanciale (cured pork cheek), diced

Steps:

1 chopped onion
8 to 12 thick slices Italian bacon

Steps:

  • In a frying pan, combine 1/2 inch of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, one chopped onion and the Italian bacon cut into small squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for eggs that are fresh and have bright orange yolks, and use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that it should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it to hold its shape when you add the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pancetta or bacon: This will cause it to steam instead of brown, and it will not be as flavorful. Cook it in batches if necessary.
  • Add the eggs and cheese to the pasta gradually: This will help to prevent them from curdling. Stir constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese until you reach the desired flavor.
