Authentic Carbonara Pasta

Ingredients -
400g (14.1oz) - Spaghetti
4 - Large Free Range Egg Yolks
45g (1.6oz) - Pecorino Romano Cheese, Freshly Grated (Substitute for Parmigiano Reggiano)
250g (8.8oz) - Guanciale (Substitute for Pancetta or Bacon)
Black Pepper To Taste
Method -
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta 1 minute less than the instructions.
Add the egg yolks and Pecorino Romano cheese to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Place a large pan over medium-high, and whilst it is cold, add the Guanciale and gently fry it off for 5 minutes until it becomes crispy and the fat has rendered. There will be quite a bit of fat; if it’s too much for you, you can remove some, but I recommend leaving it in. Turn off the heat.
Add the pasta straight from the water into the pan with the Guanciale, reserving 1 cup (250ml) of pasta water. Add the egg yolk and cheese mix and vigorously mix until everything is smooth. It would be best if you worked fast here as the egg can start to scramble. Once combined, adjust the consistency with the pasta water until you reach the desired consistency and it’s nice and creamy. You may not need all the pasta water.
Serve the carbonara in bowls and top with the crispy Guanciale. Grate over fresh Pecorino Romano cheese and top with cracked black pepper (optional). Dig in.

Little trick I do, I add the pasta water to the eggs and cheese before hand and then add it

If anyone is wondering, as I didn't hear it mentioned or see it anywhere, that's Pecorino Romano cheese. At least, it's meant to be.

[@Ribbitplease]

Or Parmesan, if you can’t find Pecorino

[@matte.o_g]

I'm an Italian you made a good job my only suggestion is less cheese or more yolks, it has to be creamy

I was making carbonara and was pretty sure I have the recipe down but checked on KZbin while in the middle of cooking to see if I’d forgotten anything, and realised I had cut the meat with the rind in it, so spent the last 10 minutes cutting the rind of the off the tiny cubes while this video plays 100 times in the background

[@barrelswow9480]

People sleeping on Luciano's recipe. Use the fat from your guanciale and whisk it in with your eggs and in a pan using au bain marie, add cheese later. Just like you do with butter in a hollandaise sauce. Elevates your carbonara to the next level.

[@andreb.thomas5926]

It’s not Carbonara without guanciale, but acceptable to use pancetta if you can’t find it.

Nice. Only thing I do different is do the final step in a metal mixing bowl so less chance of it scrambling. I’ll throw it over the burner for a few seconds to warm it up.

Great. Can it be stored in bowls in fridge smth like meal prep and use it for maybe 3-4 days? Just put in microwave and eat? Is it good like that has any one tried? Great chanel

[@ChefJackOvens]

This one can’t unfortunately as it’s an unstable emulsion which will split when reheated

[@dm-2703]

definitely wouldn't work in a microwave but i have successfully reheated carbonara on very low heat while stirring often and adding a bit of water without it splitting/scrambling the eggs

[@zacharysherry2910]

You never mentioned to remove some of the guanciale to top with later

[@leonwong95]

Don’t waste the skin/rind, cut it out and chop it into small little dices and low heat fried it off before cooking the guanciale… once done put it in a small bowl and leave the oil in and cook your guanciale. Once your carbonara is done, sprinkle some of the skin/rind you fried off and it give you the crunch and the extra tangy flavour that I find it missed out when I first learned to throw the skin altogether..

[@CarriesQuilts]

I cooked it on accident, had to add some oil to loosen things up after, still amazing. But I will try to do it correctly next time lol

Carbonara was devised to entice American soldiers deployed in Italy during WW2 to eat pasta. The original recipe included bacon, whole eggs, cream, and cheddar. Guanciale, pecorino, and egg yolks are later transformations.

[@ChefJackOvens]

That’s not correct.

[@ugonardini7598]

Yes, it is. Carbonara was nowhere to be found in Roman cuisine recipe books before WW2.

[@geoffreyk9164]

This is not remotely correct. Correction: maybe I was a bit harsh because there is a connection with American soldiers during World War II, but it is mostly not correct.

[@ugonardini7598]

@@geoffreyk9164 Yes, it is. Do your research and you'll find out the truth about carbonara.

[@geoffreyk9164]

@@ugonardini7598, The only main thing you’re saying that is close to true is that there is an interesting connection with American soldiers during World War II. Carbonara was invented in Rome or at least Lazio well before the Second World War by someone associated with the family or the chefs who eventually opened the two restaurants called “La Carbonara”- the one opened in Monti in 1906 and the other, now more famous one, opened in Campo de’ Fiori in 1912. At that time, there was no official name for the dish, but the ingredients and process were basically the same. Pasta Alfredo has a very similar history with the dish simply taking the name of the restaurant that made it famous. Carbonara never had cream in it from the beginning. The American version with cream was a shortcut created by chefs because it’s faster and cheaper than using a large amount of imported Pecorino Romano. A similar thing happened with pasta Alfredo, which also gets its creaminess from the combination of cheese and water. Now what you bring up is what happened during the Second World War, when American soldiers were trying to eat a hearty traditional breakfast of bacon and eggs, but decided to try to recreate the Carbonara that they found in Rome and only knew the names of the restaurants where they ate it by mixing it all with pasta. The difference was, they didn’t realize that they were eating guanciale and they already had bacon, which supposedly they were importing or buying as part of their rations. The other part that you got right is that the recipe originally did call for the whole egg. This video uses a modern approach that some restaurants in Rome are doing now just to get the sauce to have a brighter orange color. Your history comes from the Internet; whereas mine comes directly from Rome.
