Spaghetti carbonara

Authentic Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

Genuine Italian carbonara is made with guanciale (or pancetta), egg yolks, pecorino cheese and black pepper. The key is using quality ingredients and no cream - the creamy texture comes from properly emulsifying the eggs with hot pasta water. A classic Roman dish that takes just 15 minutes to make.
