Gennaro Contaldo's Authentic Italian Spaghetti Carbonara | Citalia

[@Egxas]

I just made my very first carbonara and it was using this video recipe. I must say that I am a Lithuanian who has never made carbonara before and woke up today and decided that today is the day. I watched this video, got all of the ingredients, made it and ate it. My chest got hairier and I’m booking a ticket to Rome right now

Dude Italian dishes have 3 ingredients and they’re the most delicious thing you’ve ever had. It’s insane. I had just a platter of meat and cheese in Florence. Best food I’ve had in my entire life. What I get from it is that 1. It requires a skilled chef 2. All the ingredients have to be incredibly fresh (the cured meats on my favourite dish of all time were hanging from the restaurant ceiling to be cut).

[@paparatrunkihood]

Exactly! Perhaps even the ingredients may be cheap and easy to get, but certainly the secret becomes in the freshness of italian ingredients! Lovely and delicious dish

[@Crihs95]

Lots of local Italian dishes are very "poor", historically they were made by common folk that didn't have many fancy ingredients and just tried to make the best of it with what they had, that's the beauty of it
