Carbonara! Mezzi paccheri alla carbonara.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: semolina flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients, while semolina is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative, while pecorino is often cheaper than parmesan.

Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and grated pecorino romano.

In a pan, cook the guanciale or pancetta until crispy.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the guanciale.

Remove from heat and quickly mix in the egg yolk mixture, stirring to create a creamy sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
