Carbonara

Here’s the proper way to make carbonara - before people started cheating by adding cream. It’s made using eggs and parmigiana reggiano which, when vigorously mixed with starchy pasta cooking water, forms a beautiful creamy sauce.
You’ll love how creamy and rich it tastes but you don’t get that weighed down feeling like you do after eating pastas made with loads of cream!

I made this for last nights tea and to was so easy, quick and delightful. The only ingredient I changed was i used smoked bacon. Thank you Tin Eats for another great dish.

You are such a great cook.. I love all your recipes and short videos..

[@pollyanna1112]

Looks delicious Nagi. I like that it doesn’t look difficult either. A few ingredients equals yum yum

[@kathowed]

I've been enjoying your recipes for I don't know how long (haven't yet struck one I thought I wouldn't make again), but this is the first of your videos I've watched (your recipes and instructions are so clear and easy to follow, I never felt the need). I watched out of curiosity (I have a background in photography and video) and was so impressed! Every bit as delicious as the food you've helped me cook. Domo!

Such a simple and beautiful recipe/presentation. You did it wonderfully, and yes garlic (and a bit of ground mace) is always used in my carbonara. It's how my family loves it. Please ignore the false-erudite sentiments that may follow.😋

[@journeyman6752]

[@seano4784]

Slight cooking change is add the cooked pasta to the frying pan (still with MED heat on stovetop) with the guanciale (plus melted fat!!) PLUS adding a ladle of the pasta water. Heat for a few minutes before turning off the heat and moving the frypan off the stovetop. IMPORTANT STEP: Add about 1/4 cup (more if making bigger serves/eggs etc) of the slightly heated pasta water to the bowl with the egg/cheese mix and make a sauce. Add the egg/cheese sauce to the frypan over the pasta, mix in and then serve!!!!

I Agree Your Right I Just Made It Kinda Like This Minus Real Bacon(Real Dehydrated Bacon Pieces) And Real Garlic Was Almost 1a.m. Here Out Of Things.

I tried making this recently (not using your recipe) and it turned into scrambled eggs pasta! It was still quite delicious though, I should follow your recipe if I make it again 👍

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Don’t add the eggs whilst it’s on the heat

[@noorclean2915]

You should stir your egg off the heat/stove off. You make mistake because u stir the egg in the pan with heat on

My best support for you. Keep it touch

[@rythmnarnia3377]

Is the pasta water was hot or cold?..

[@aiayla]

Do the eggs cook through? Or are they supposed to be raw?

[@arturbb]

the heat from the pasta plus the boiling water you during mixing should cook the sauce enough

[@katl8825]

i don't think it cooks the eggs completely through, but will partially cook them, maybe comparable to soft boiled eggs

[@Samskitchen00]

Delicious tasty

et çok yağlıydı kesin lezzetli olmuştur bu tarif

[@raymondnien3833]

i saw some people use only the yolk,not whole egg can anybody(especially italians)say which is correct ??

[@wenaperwenaper2633]

Not whole egg 🎉

[@mikemanalo6011]

Ancient carbonara use the whole egg because its wasteful to use only the yolk. Modern artisinal restaurant carbonara uses egg yolk for richer flavor, as they can use the egg white to other dishes in the menu or simply make meringue with it to set aside as dessert on moody days :) Hence, If you want to make a real carbonara from the ancient times, use the whole egg. But if you like to make the modern rich flavored carbonara simply use the yolk or add more yolk than the whole eggs. No italians will perish in both ways above as long as the ingredient is correct and you prepare it by the book lol

In addition to the comments regarding garlic and parsley, you don't mix the pasta in a cold glass bowl 🤦‍♂️

Where did it say it was a cold glass bowl. It was all obviously room temp...

Garlic is fine though, I also don’t mind parsley. There is a difference between cold and room temp 😉

[@a.s.6685]

@@Mina_Susnjevic The point is that the food gets cold when mixed in a glass bowl. This is not a salad. I too love garlic and parsley, which does not mean it belongs in spaghetti carbonara.

[@FLN62]

Garlic should not be optional when making authentic carbonara because there’s no garlic in carbonara.

My Italian friend from Modena made me carbonara with crushed garlic and took it out after the flavor was out. So, there is no “one” Italian rule 😉

@@FLN62 no need to make me understand anything, I am fine as is. But I am confused with one thing: the title says Carbonara not Traditional Carbonara.
