Pasta Medium
Classic Spaghetti Carbonara
Authentic Roman pasta carbonara made with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. No cream allowed!
The Real Deal
True Carbonara is a masterpiece of simplicity. It relies on the technique of tempering the eggs with the hot pasta to create a silky sauce without scrambling them.
Guanciale vs. Pancetta vs. Bacon
- Guanciale: Cured pork jowl. The traditional choice. Rich and fatty.
- Pancetta: Cured pork belly. A great alternative.
- Bacon: Smoked pork belly. Adds a smoky flavor which isn’t traditional but still delicious.
