When I tried it with Guanciale instead of Pancetta I was amazed how different it tastes. Not that there's anything wrong with using Pancetta (although some may disagree) but Guanciale doesn't have a bacon flavour and it really changes the flavour of the dish as a whole.

[@TheGabbia]

I'm italian and i studied history as well as cooking and the original recepies used pancetta OR guanciale cause it was created by romans together with americans soldier after the liberation of Rome in ww2 (they took an old recipe and used the american rations of eggs and bacon to do it) so if somebody disagree he just doesn't know history. And btw , the "only guanciale", "only yolk" and "traditional" you see in this video recepie was created in the 90s (until the 89 all the Official italian recipes still had cream in it) while the firsts writings of the original recepies are from 1944 so yeah. Carbonara had many variations in history so eat the one that you like the most :)

[@marienvanraan760]

What about parmesan and pecorino together? Do you need salt in the water when the Guanciale is salt enough? Thank you from the Netherlands.

[@intell0]

Carbonara is from around Roma and pecorino romano is also from Rome, parmigiano reggiano is from emilia romagna... So its like italian fusion if you use parmesan, if you know what i mean.

[@marienvanraan760]

thank you

[@virginiafeliciano9318]

That’s so simple yet elegant! Can’t wait to try making it but will have to use pancetta

[@GuINES-mG]

I've made Carbonara many, many, times. But with pancetta and parmesan. It is simply tasteless. I don't know why, but I think this maybe be the most overrated dish ever. I would love to try it when some chef prepares it, because no matter what I tried it has no taste at all

[@mez7736]

​@Marko GG Do you season the egg / cheese mixture with salt? Because if not that might explain the lack of flavour. You only need a small pinch though because the pancetta is already salty. And make sure you're using smoked pancetta; the non-smoked stuff doesn't have anywhere near the same level of flavour.

[@GuINES-mG]

@@mez7736 Nope, I never tried putting salt in the mixture because they always say you don't need salt because bacon is salty. But yeah, I could try that, it makes sense, thanks

[@Naps-95]

@@GuINES-mG Well you're using parmesan, so it's already wrong. Pecorino romano is sheep's milk and has a much sharper taste than parmigiano, which is cow's milk. Also if you're using pre-grated stuff, it'll have even less taste.

[@GuINES-mG]

@@alexandernapper3683 Yeah, I know it is wrong, but they say you can use parmesan if you don't have p. romano. But you are right, I use pre grated cheese, I think it is called Zanetti parmesan.

That's the point of pouring the pasta water in the egg!! You're pasteurize the eggs and getting rid of the lumps from the cheese. Every italian chef does it.

@@filippo8495 No, that's not true. I have watched countless Italian chefs prepare carbonara both in person and on YT, and I have made it myself many times. Gino is the first I've seen add hot pasta water to the egg and cheese mix, which you don't want, because it slightly cooks the eggs. If you prepare it like Gino does and you like the results, then that's fine, but it's not the classic technique.

I thought the whole point of adding the pasta water was to have the starch that the pasta lets out? Add the water once the pasta has cooked for a while?

[@maxfiol2011]

No the point of the water is just for get the creamy sauce. The pecorino romano/ yolks mix can be a little tricky, is easy to miss the balance and get it either or too much Liquid or too much solid, also because when you mix it with pasta that consistency change and turns to be more Liquid than before... When is too much solid you put water in, if is too much Liquid you just add more pecorino. And be sure that the pen is not too much hot when you gi to mix them, is safer mix them in a bowl, or you Cook the eggs and get a pasta/frittata mix

Some mistakes: 1) Bucatini are for Amatriciana not for Carbonara 2) Pepper needs to be together the chease and the eggs, when you prepare the cream 3) The hot wather you use for the cream is better after you start cooking pasta: in this way you also take some starch 4) Do not cook together pasta and guanciale: the water of the past will remove the crispy effect from it; if you decide to use the "guanciale's oil", remove the guanciale and mix the pasta and the oil That's it ... but your recipe is not bad; I would say 6.5/10 ...

Pasta goes in the eggs and then you add Guanciale with its oil, otherwise the oil from Guanciale coats the pasta and the eggs slip away without sticking to the pasta

[@ssr6036]

No that doesn't happen at all. You are meant to create an emulsification with the fat from the Guanciale, pasta water and eggs.

[@Augustus_Imperator]

@@ssr6036 the emuIsification is created by pasta water and egg + cheese, then yon can incorporate the oiI, adding the eggs at the end can spIit it

[@ssr6036]

@@Augustus_Imperator You can do it that way if you want and I'm sure it's fine and I'm sure people do do it that way, but the usual way I've seen it done and the way I do it is to place the pasta (undercooked by a minute or 2) in the pan with the Guanciale and fat and then continue cooking the pasta and creating a cream with the fat and pasta water, and quite a bit of it. This way the pasta absorbs all that flavour. I then add the egg and cheese mixture and add more pasta water as needed. I have never had an issue with the eggs splitting so long as the pan is off the heat and you stir vigorously, which is usually easier with something like spaghetti. I really don't get how people scramble the eggs. Something like a caccio e peppe i find to be far more difficult, it always becomes a string mess for me.

[@Augustus_Imperator]

@@ssr6036 For cacio e pepe to work you need both the right cheese and a moderate temperature. Many cheeses either get stringy or get grainy because the proteins coagulate with high temperature, it's as delicate as the eggs in carbonara, you really need to do it out of the stove. I grate the cheese in a bowl, put the pepper in, then when the pasta is almost cooked add a couple ladles of starchy pasta water and mix to form a paste, when the pasta is ready drain it, wait 20 seconds to lose some temperature then put it in the bowl with the cheese and mix, if needed add some more pasta water to loosen it and it should be ok.

[@ssr6036]

@@Augustus_Imperator Yes, I do exactly that, except the pepper, I toast that in the pan and then add pasta water to that and cook the pasta a bit in there too. I probably just don't wait long enough for the pasta to cool before adding the cheese. And I use Pecorino Romano, which is the cheese traditionally used.
