I just tried the second method, doing the sauce in a bain marie. It came out absolutely perfect. This is definitely the way I’ll be cooking carbonara from now on. Thanks!

[@MicheleToscan]

And you'd be right. If you want to make it perfect and have a sous vide machine like Anova or Joule, set the temp of the water is 62 degrees celsius.

[@anthonys5568]

I like the rigatoni idea, but If you look closely the first guy scrambled the egg a bit. Second guy got it right. Third guy not so sure....

[@karansood7347]

I've just started cooking! Excited to see how it'll turn out. I think the Guanciale is beautiful and adore the way this has been put together. One day I hope to travel to Italy and taste the cuisine as it has come from the earth

[@SamsonGuest]

I also get the most consistent results this way. But I swear there is a mistake on the amounts of cheese either in the recipe or the translation because it calls for 50g of cheese (30g parmesan 20g pecorino) aswell as 1 yolk per 50g of pasta. He is using 3 yolks ( so preparing for 150g of pasta, meaning 150g cheese) but no way is he using 150g of cheese. It looks like a lot less that he adds, probably like 50g maybe 100g but definitely not more. Also the sauce after adding the cheese doesn't look like it does when you add 50g of cheese per yolk. I tried and it gets so thick it is hard to remove from the whisk. It's also to much for the flavor the cheese just gets over powering with 50g per yolk. Also what he is saying doesn't fit the recipe given in the beginning where it says 4 yolks, 30g parmesan, 20g pecorino but 280g of pasta. The method is great but the ratios mentioned seem way of.

[@andydriffield101]

Anthony Sera went to his restaurant last week the carbonara is the best

[@zulucruz664]

The one who did the 1st recipe is a God-tier chef. He put the eggs straight to the pan and make sure it mixes well with pasta while not overcooked.

[@R96-y1u]

Yes but with spaghetti it’s harder to do that because it’s not easy managing the heat they have while mixing the sauce

@@gianlu6398 "he can't cook carbonara" tu hai un evidente problema con le spiegazioni. Ti ha detto a più riprese che gestire una quantità tale di pasta per tante persone necessita di una certa attenzione e, oltretutto, fa porzioni più abbondanti.

[@antistiolabeo8950]

Quello che mi diverte di più di questo tipo di video è leggere i commenti degli stranieri che si stupiscono di quanto gli italiani possano diventare isterici e competitivi quando si tratta di cibo e, in modo particolare, di ricette tradizionali. Da un lato, sorrido e mi compiaccio per la gioia e il senso di appartenenza che la nostra passione per la cucina riescono a trasmettere, ma dall'altro non posso fare a meno di accorgermi con una certa amarezza che molto spesso i commenti più irragionevoli ed offensivi (talvolta ai limiti del ridicolo) sono proprio quelli che provengono dagli italiani. Certo, la linea che separa la passione dall'arroganza e della presunzione culturale è estremamente sottile, ma credo che un briciolo di utilità e di autoironia in più gioverebbe a noi tutti, e più in generale all'immagine del Paese.

il vino e facoltativo in base alla padella che si usa. se usi una cazzo di padella in multistrato o inox e ovvio che dovrai deglassare la padella sennò tutto il gusto del guanciale rimane attaccato al fondo della padella. se invece usi una padella in antiaderente come fa Monosilio nel suo altro video di 3 minuti per Italia squisita , non avrai bisogno del vino. Non sfracellate il cazzo coi commenti da masterchef che non siete ed apprezzate..

Sicuro non fosse il premio di miglior frittata? L uovo sulla padella cotto è un errore peggio della panna , si vede chiaramente che è stra cotto quando la va a servire

Haha, I definitely didn't expect these three dishes based on the last video. They're all doing at least slightly "non-traditional" things. Seems like the thing with the last video critiquing other videos is that they objected to the ingredients used, rather than the methods involved.. maybe..

[@Giu_Gio]

They all said that Carbonara isn’t a recipe, you don’t have to follow precise steps to make it. You only have to use the right ingredients, and they only talked about the ingredients used in the videos not the tecniques

I don't think they would laugh at him. They clearly specify that the most important aspect of the Carbonara are the ingredients. You can do whatever you want after that.

Grazie, bella dritta non ci avevo pensato.!

[@AZIARGROUS]

Pretentious? I think most people here miss the point. It's kinda funny because it shows how hard it is to convey an idea across culinary cultural differences. The last guy surely isn't doing carbonara in the traditional way, but then again, he is not deviating from the ingredients, which is the most important part. The taste of the "recipe" will be preserved, which is totally different from adding cream or garlic: this would be not respecting the tradition, and the taste would be completely different! He takes a traditional recipe and yeah, twists it into something of nouvelle cuisine. Surely it's not as his grandma, but it's an interpretation well within the boundaries of tradition. It's actually a nice twist. They said it right at the beginning: there is no fixed procedure but there are fixed ingredients. Also, for whoever is saying the first guy is using mineral water and wine: you have to understand these are (very interesting actually, can always learn from chefs) minor tweaks which will hardly alter the taste, they are technical solutions to achieve a better result with guanciale, which being very fat can be somewhat heavy. Just tricks up a good chefs sleeve, and in Italian cuisine there are many as such, little additions (or subtractions as well) meant to help bring out the best and mitigate the worst(if I can use such a word) of any ingredient. It's in the little details, and this I think is the greatest strength of our cuisine.

[@simonjrgensen6761]

So if you can use white wine in that way, why not garlic? Is it because it alters the dish that much?

[@Albomxnista]

@@theskullman0 Because wine evaporates. The sweetness helps cut down the strong flavour from the guanciale. It doesn't add any flavour, unlike garlic.

Pero con panceta salada, y algún (falso) parmesano local podríamos lograr un resultado "decente". Así como aquí somos cultores de la carne y del asado, es digno mencionar que en Italia los mejores cultores de la pasta, la pizza, los formaggio y los prosciutto, son ustedes. Por suerte mi apellido procede de allí. Abrazo y gracias por una receta demostrada por grandes exponentes de la cocina de su país.

[@and20bobposta94]

[@dr.atticushalsey2221]

First recipe is a shame. Second one is perfect.

[@LivinhItUp]

I've spent a good 3 years making Carbonaras... From messing it up and scrambling it to not letting the sauce develop enough (pasta with runny eggs anyone?). It's such a temperamental dish that needs to be perfect to be delicious. I usually just throw the pasta in the cooked pork oil and let it coat first. After, I throw in the pecorino/yolk mix and start stirring & adding in pasta water. If the consistency isn't quite there, I keep the pasta water boiling in the pot and just put my sauce pan over it and continue stirring and working it until I get the desired creaminess & heat. And I finish by garnishing the bacon or guinciale over the top because I enjoy the crunchy texture on it's own. Looking to fully try the 2nd Chef's method though. He has a few more steps he does in other videos but this looks the best out of all that I've seen thus far.

[@hinatamasaki9991]

I usually add some pasta water to the egg/cheese mixture and stir it, and then combine that with pancetta and pasta in a pan on low heat. Perfect carbonara every time.

[@jean-philippeguitton8197]

I'm using this method too, maybe the most classical one btw. Adding pasta water (not too hot) into the egg/cheese mixture is a godtier tip because that way emulsion is starting before you add it to your pan with pasta plus that way it moderate its temperature when hitting the hot pan+pasta. Btw the second guy is used to put half the guanciale fat into the egg/cheese mixture before adding the pasta (same concept here but he did not do it on this vid or i missed it).

[@valeriechaumeziere377]

I was taught how to cook Spaghetti Carbonara by a couple of old men and their wives I used to go mushroom hunting with in Italy. They were Charcoal makers and foragers. The Carbonara was cooked in the forest using embers from the charcoal making fire. Slice the pork cheek into large pieces and fry to light golden. Drain the fat and keep to use for another recipe. These are poor people, money wise, but in every other respect of life, they are richer than any billionaire. Nothing is wasted. Boil the water, add the salt, cook the spaghetti until just al dente with good bite. Remove the hot spaghetti and add it to the frying pan with the fried pork cheek. Beat eggs and cheese, Parmesan, Pecorino or other together and pour this onto the hot spaghetti stirring in to cover the spaghetti and pork cheek. Add some of the boiling hot water you cooked the spaghetti in to make the sauce. Black pepper and more grated cheese job done. Easy and delicious. No garlic, no cream or anything else.

[@francesconicolo9534]

[@valeriechaumeziere377]

Francesco Nicoló Thankyou. I love traditional authentic Italian cooking and I spend a lot of time and energy trying to get recipes right. It is like French cooking...Grandma knows the little secrets! The only problem with Italian cooking is that one town or village claims to have invented the Original recipe but the village 4 kilometers down the road say No! It was us! Italy. Beautiful food, people, culture! What I really hate is Italian restaurants in America and the UK who serve Authentic Italian dishes and the have fucking Spaghetti Bolognese on their menu. WTF? When I pass these restaurants I like to go inside and ask discreetly to speak to the manager or owner....”Are you Italian? Do you know that Ragu Bolognese is supposed to be served with Tagliatelle NOT spaghetti. No point in asking them how they make their Ragu because it will be bullshit as well. Just makes me sad when people who should know better don’t respect their own recipes!

[@phazon69]

La terza non l'avevo mai vista!😯 Complimenti!

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

*The egg cream* is warmed up, but it never cooks till the proteins become sticky. Which means it would be also possible to mildly pre-heat the cream separated and mix it all up in the final stage, so that the hot spaghetti cook the egg cream on their surface, when the fire is already off.

[@centocerez]

in every pasta dish we usually do it with a little bit of the hot pasta water, it's full of starch released from the pasta. It thickens the sauce and stick it better to the pasta. In carbonara case it helps getting the eggs more creamy and pasteurizes them

[@bimbogiallo]

In high quality restaurants it's a trick you must use. Either you charge 20E for a carbonara to have a pro chef whisk some egg combo over steaming water or else you precook the sauce in a sous-vide batch and just warm it up in the pan at the very last second.

[@TimelesslyModern]

I think Luciano had the most sound, succint and best recipe in my opinion.

[@jaytorr6701]

One clarification. He says one egg yolk per 50grams of pasta. But in the recipe it says 4 yolks for 280grams of pasta. Then the recipe says 30grams padano, 20grams pecorino for 280grams of pasta. he says 30/20 per 50 grams of pasta. This would mean for 280grams of pasta 280 grams of cheese are needed. Seems a bit too much... Which one is the correct?

[@constantin1959]

I have the same question. Pity you didn't get a reply!

[@huntstyle]

I made 1/4 the recipe as it is on the card. Honestly didn't seem like enough sauce, just barely enough to coat the pasta, none left in the bowl to drizzle over the top. Today I made 3/4 the amount of cheese/yolk for 80g pasta. More sauce than needed, but more is better. I'll try twice the amount, and I think that'll be about right. So 70g pasta, 25g cheese, 2 yolks per serving.

As long as you use garlic with it you'll be fine 😂

[@antoniopugliese3004]

Of course. And I recommend you to drink a cappuccino or an hot choccolate while eating your carbonara.

[@Soupditto123]

Pineapples should be fine..Just make sure to use fresh ones,it's a crime to used those in cans...😅

[@fr.danieleusterman3060]

Heads up: The video's ingredient list for Luciano Monosilo's recipe is inaccurate when compared to what he says. If you follow the video's amounts at 4:34 you will be very short on cheese! As he makes the egg paste he gives the following ratios. For every 50 GRAMS of Pasta: - 1 egg yolk - 30g Grana + 20g Pecorino Così, come Cristo comanda. ;)

[@RepairLab]

I was desperately scrolling down the comments to find such a comment. 50 grams of cheese for 300 grams of pasta is completely off.

This is a lot better than the endless arguments about the "right" way to do Carbonara.

Io considero la cucina un arte, il modificare un piatto "sacro" come ha fatto Marco Martini è la cosa che piú ho apprezzato. Flavio De Maio ha semplicemento usato un suo metodo e alla fine conta il risultato finale. La ricetta è la base sta poi alla creativitá dello chef completare il piatto in modo personale. Siate aperti di mente verso l'arte

I see I've never had a true Carbonara in the United States, but I certainly want to fix this dish. I finally located a source to get the guanciale from.

[@STlTCHlZ]

Why do Americans say "fix" when they talk about cooking? Fix implies it's broken.

[@Nortarachanges]

STlTCHlZ because ‘prepare’ has too many syllables maybe? I don’t know. I just roll with the oddities of my mother tongue ^_^

[@STlTCHlZ]

What's wrong with "make"? Same amount of syllables, and it's literally what you're doing lol, you make a sandwich, you don't fix it.

[@MrAbcdefgbarney]

Nothing is wrong, both mean the same thing. Fixing can mean fixing a broken object, or just to prepare or to get ready.

[@sfdanceron1]

You're right, lol. I live in the San Francisco bay area and a good carbonara cannot be had anywhere. You wouldn't believe some of the concoctions they call carbonara. You have to make it yourself. I like the second chef's interpretation. When I was in Rome, this is what I was exposed too. .

[@zoeemiko8149]

Luciano Monosilio is known throughout Rome for making one of the best, if not the best, carbonara of all time. My visit to Pipero, the restaurant he recently left, made me a fan of carbonara. Marko Martini who owns The Corner restaurant in Rome is all about presentation. Been there and wasn't impressed.

All three chef's recipes are mind blowing. I liked the first one 😄. One question ; any difference between Chef's cooking and Home Cook's cooking in Italy, what do they think about it? Thank you🙏

[@tom_something]

6:43 - I like the technique of leaning the pan, with the product uphill, to drain the fat. I do this often when cooking lardons of bacon. Since it's draining hot, more of the fat is preserved separately instead of being lost in kitchen paper.

[@raffaelecoppola5839]

La versione di Monosilio mi sembra la più tradizionale, la migliore ........

[@leonardomauhs6557]

I like how all of them made sure the eggs were cooked. I've seen other chefs teaching how to do carbonara saying that the hot pasta is enough to cook the eggs, I'm always concerned they will be raw. I'll test the bain marie next time.

[@Cypeq]

If you work fast, hot pasta is hot enough to scramble the eggs, so I don't see the problem. One could understand chefs, serving dozens portions a day trying to be extra careful though. Doing bain marie for carbonara is a total waste of time, like the chef said maybe you have pregnant wife you can do this salty zabaglione.

[@ChefinCamicia]

Tradizione vs. contemporaneità. Sembrano buonissime!

[@cyranodetal]

Now I wanna see the reactions of yet more three Italian chefs on these Italians making carbonaras and aglio i olio. Wait a minute le'me get the popcorn

[@PlateletRichGel]

I learned a totally different way. I was told this is how the Italian Americans who worked in the mines made it. Use a pound of bacon and cook very slow. You do NOT want the bacon crispy, and DONT burn the bacon grease, keep it warm. Remove the bacon and slice into small strips. Prepare your parmesian, and whisk your eggs, When the pasta is ready, put into the serving bowl. Add the eggs and bacon and parmesian last, and put your pepper and mix well, take the warm bacon grease and pour into the bowl, letting it cook the eggs and melt the parmesian. I've made it this way for ages, and even picky kids gobble it up.

[@dg-hughes]

1:23 I like when Flavio De Maio used white wine to deglaze the pan to get the fond of the guanciale why leave the good stuff behind? Get that fond. And adding the spices and cheeses until the end.

[@leonardodeltoro7516]

[@geoarg1322]

2 second is the better....bravo!!!

[@davidmircea2050]

Well now... this changes a lot the way we're looking at other "famous" chefs. No mean to argue or anything, but I would very much like a very top Chef (like let's say... Guy Savoy) make his own interpretation of this, while these 3 wonderful guys try to make some foie gras. That would be a lovely treat :) Congratulations gentlemen. If I'll come to Rome I'll be sure to be checking you out.

[@evelina2363]

You know, the thing with learning foreign cuisine is respecting how it is made. If you want to learn how to make a certain traditional dish, you should learn from the people who come from that tradition. Whether it’s Italian,, Korean, Hungarian...it’s the only way to get that perfect result.

[@enbardis]

I guess I'm lucky but guanchalle is really easy to find here in Pittsburgh lol and it's definitely an accquired taste, I love it but other people say it's aweful.

[@diegoraidomi]

so much love for the second one, the carbonara dish have to be done without egg white!

[@xTyrantLaharlx]

I get the third one was supposed to be a take on molecular gastronomy and was probably just as tasty as the first two, I'm just not too interested in that type of food prep. Probably impressive for people that can appreciate and respect the ingredients of carbonara but I'll definitely be making Flavio's and Luciano's versions.

[@Apollo440]

@@bebisibeb I mean that they know it isn’t true to the original and post the recipe anyway. One of the cooks from this channel even said (while commenting on a popular video): "he was here in Rome, he saw the right way, what is he doing?" and nonetheless - even after visiting Italy and seeing the right way - the popular KZbinr decided to do different. And I am saying - he did so (just like many others, who are on the top viewed list) not by mistake.
