SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA: THE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE

Spaghetti alla Carbonara: the Traditional Italian Recipe image

This dish was created in the Lazio region (the area around Rome) in the middle of the 20th century, after World War Two. We don't use cream, milk, garlic, onions or other strange ingredients; we use only guanciale, eggs, pecorino cheese, and lots of black pepper (carbonaro is the Italian for coal miner). This isn't the Italian-American version, it's the real, creamy carbonara and it comes right from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound guanciale (cured pork cheek), diced
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
3 eggs
10 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add guanciale (see Cook's Note). Cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Whisk eggs, half of the Pecorino Romano cheese, and some black pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour egg mixture over pasta, stirring quickly, until creamy and slightly cooled. Stir in guanciale. Top with remaining Pecorino Romano cheese and more black pepper.

CARBONARA (GUANCIALE, EGG, AND PECORINO ROMANO)

Carbonara (Guanciale, Egg, and Pecorino Romano) image

Use the best, freshest eggs you can find, and don't even think of making this dish with eggs from stressed-out battery chickens. You can taste the difference. If you can find real guanciale, so much the better. Once the eggs have been added to the pasta, do not let the pan touch the heat directly or you will wind up with scrambled eggs.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

For the condimento:
4 ounces (115 grams) guanciale, cut into 1/4-inch (1/2-centimeter) dice
2 generous tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, preferably lightly fruity
3 large eggs, at room temperature
10 rounded tablespoons (100 grams) freshly grated pecorino romano, or half pecorino romano and half parmigiano-reggiano
freshly ground black pepper
To make the dish:
1 pound (450 grams) pasta (see note below)

Steps:

Put the guanciale and oil in a large skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the edges of the guanciale pieces are just turning brown, about 2 minutes. Don't let it get too crisp. Set the pan and its contents aside but keep warm.
Bring 5 quarts (5 liters) of water to a boil in an 8-quart (8-liter) pot over high heat. When the water boils, add 3 tablespoons kosher salt, then add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, break the eggs into a small bowl and add all the cheese and a generous grinding of pepper. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth.
Drain the pasta (reserving and keeping warm a cup of its water) and put it in the skillet with the guanciale over low heat. Toss quickly to mix well.
Holding the skillet slightly above but not touching the burner, pour the egg and cheese mixture in a stream into the pasta. Now, if you have the skill, toss the pasta with a deft movement of the wrist to blend all the contents of the pan. If you don't, remove the pan from the heat and mix quickly with two wooden spoons. If you have a warm spot, such as a food warmer or even over a pilot light, rest the pan there while you work.
Whatever you do, work fast or the pasta will get cold and the eggs will stay raw and runny. Ideally the heat of the pasta will cook the egg just enough, and the sauce should be creamy. You can mix in a tiny bit of the reserved water to smooth things out, but you probably won't need to.
Transfer to individual heated bowls or plates and serve instantaneously.

ROMAN STYLE CARBONARA

Roman style carbonara image

This recipe reminds me of the most delicious carbonara I ever ate on a scorching hot day in a tiny courtyard in a restaurant on a narrow street near the Vatican in Rome. Hopefully you'll love it as much as I do.

Provided by em_macaussie

Time 15m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

200g dry spaghetti
200g chopped pancetta
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/3 cup grated parmesan
4 egg yolks

Steps:

Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. While the water is boiling, cook the pancetta in a large pan over a high heat, stirring constantly until golden. Turn the heat down to a medium heat and add the garlic to the pan with the pancetta, stirring for a minute before turning the heat off.
Add a good pinch of salt to the pot of boiling water and cook the pasta until al dente. Add the pasta straight to the pan and toss well. Add a ladle of the pasta water to the pan before adding the egg yolks one at a time, stirring through after each one. Add the parmesan cheese and a good helping of cracked black pepper, tossing through. If the pasta seems a little gluggy, add some more pasta water until glossy.
Serve immediately with a good grating of parmesan.
