Carbonara Antica ricetta, ricetta originale.

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.

Boil 2 liters of water in a large pot and add 10 grams of coarse salt.

Cook 200 grams of spaghetti or rigatoni in boiling water until al dente.

In a skillet, heat a knob of strutto until melted.

Add 110 grams of guanciale to the skillet and sauté until crispy.

In a bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 60 grams of grated pecorino Romano cheese until smooth.

Remove the skillet from heat and add the drained pasta, tossing to combine.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce.

Season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
