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.

Ingredients

  • spaghetti
  • guanciale
  • eggs
  • Pecorino Romano cheese
  • black pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1Boil water in a large pot and add salt.
  2. 2Cook spaghetti in boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. 3While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. 4Add guanciale to the skillet and sauté until crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. 5In a bowl, whisk together eggs and grated Pecorino Romano cheese until smooth.
  6. 6Remove the skillet from heat and add the drained spaghetti, tossing to combine.
  7. 7Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce.
  8. 8Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  9. 9Season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  10. 10Serve immediately, garnished with additional cheese if desired.

Spaghetti alla CarbonaraPasta Carbonara

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 tbsp water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. 1Place the flour on a clean surface or in a large bowl, creating a well in the center.
  2. 2Crack the eggs into the well and add the salt and olive oil.
  3. 3Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well.
  4. 4Once the mixture starts to come together, use your hands to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. 5If the dough is too dry, add water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  6. 6Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. 7After resting, divide the dough into four pieces for easier handling.
  8. 8Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin to your desired thickness.
  9. 9Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred pasta shape (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets).
  10. 10Dust the cut pasta with flour to prevent sticking and let it dry for about 15-20 minutes before cooking.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the water.
  3. 3Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  4. 4Spread the oat mixture onto the baking sheet, forming a round pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. 5Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm.
  6. 6Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
  7. 7Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and olives.
  8. 8Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder on top of the vegetables and cheese.
  9. 9Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. 10Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
