Carbonara

Cultural Context

Originating in Rome's working-class trattorias, Carbonara was a hearty meal for charcoal workers (carbonari). The dish celebrates simple ingredients—eggs, cured pork, cheese, and black pepper—transformed through technique. Today it's beloved worldwide, though purists insist on guanciale over bacon.

guanciale

🥗Healthier: pancetta

💰Cheaper: bacon

Pancetta and bacon are more accessible alternatives to guanciale.

Pecorino Romano cheese

🥗Healthier: Parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Parmesan and Grana Padano are less expensive and still provide a rich flavor.

1

Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy.

2

Boil water in a pot and add salt.

3

Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti (150 g per person).

4

For two servings, use 200 g of spaghetti.

5

Since I don't have enough eggs, I'm adding cream to compensate.

6

For the egg mixture, use 3 eggs (2 whole and 1 yolk) for 200 g of pasta.

7

Add the rendered bacon fat to the skillet with the spaghetti.

8

Mix in the cream with the egg mixture off the heat.

9

Add more grated cheese to taste.

10

Plate the dish and top with the crispy bacon and freshly cracked black pepper.
