Pasta alla 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.

1

Add a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet.

2

Add 100 g of pancetta affumicata to the skillet and cook on low heat until browned.

3

Once the pancetta is browned, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.

4

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add salt.

5

Add 300 g of spaghetti to the boiling water.

6

The creator mentions that spaghetti should not be cut, but for convenience, they cut it.

7

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it but reserve a bit of the cooking water.

8

Return the spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta.

9

Add the eggs and mix quickly to combine, creating a creamy sauce.

10

If desired, add more grated parmigiano to the pasta before serving.
