ITALIA's Secret to Making Perfect Spaghetti alla Carbonara | Healthy Italia

[@dryflyman7121]

You nailed it immediately - NO CREAM IN CARBONARA !!! My granddaughter’s favourite meal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Your English is perfect - better than mine ❤️

[@johnerdmann2700]

BRAVA!!!!As an adopted romano this is all truth-THEY NEED TO KNOW!!!Perfecto cara!!!!!!!!!!Giannixxxx

[@sonnylouie7219]

Your English is not a problem! Good work!

[@neilbennett7155]

Amazing! My favourite Italian dish. A real ‘Roman’ Carbonara 😊

[@tomradcliffe7084]

Gracie mille! The method is so clear. I can’t wait to try it. No more cream for me. Baci.

[@jolindstad5948]

Very well done! Great explanation and video. I would personally use more chunky guachale and of course a good bit of cracked whole black pepper. I would also use a bit less water and salt for the water. You want starch and this cheese is rather salty.

[@MrBamalam1]

Thank you for this!

[@kadenduiffard2388]

Terrific. I like her style and presentation very much. No cream in the carbonara and the other two pasta dishes she mentioned is definitely a fact and very important. Overall, an excellent teaching video.

[@nickk8416]

Really well done video. Nice personality. I can't wait to try it!

[@domenicnapolitano3679]

Your English was fine what I really enjoyed was your rules. And methods like don't every break noodles, no cream. Great job I loved it.

[@wisecoonie]

Noodles??

Excellent video. Thanks

[@jasoncostanzo5337]

Your english is perfetta!😘

[@hfranke07]

Awesome. Thanks..... I know you will kill me now..... but I add 1 or 2 clows of garlic to my guacile.... I love the taste,- I know it is ilegal, but I still do it. The rest of the recepe, I make just like you.... no cream, no scramble eggs.... cheers

[@saturno-wl3rw]

Eh no, ce vole er Pepe Nero come er Carbone 😉. Si, Pepe come piovesse! I don't want to be picky this morning so I don't talk about the method, but your carbonara really needs a good black pepper. The guanciale doesn't have enough pepper.

[@HelleKurstein]

Yes! Hence the name carbonara!

I like your english :-) Regards from Austria

[@jackdorsey4850]

Dear Chef, I love the recipe. Please help me settle a problem. Is the egg and cheese mixture a sauce or gravy because of the addition of Guanciale?

[@whocares0692]

Brava ....... Grazie

[@deputy899]

I've lost track of how many REAL Carbonaras there are.

[@OKuusava]

You can do that, this is the one.

[@m444ss]

spaghetto - spaghetti. panino - panini. ...also, cannolo - cannoli. ;-)

[@olafscherdin2683]

Almost perfect recipe and How To! ❤ However: Where is the carbon on your Carbonara? 😉 Use freshly ground black pepper on your serving. It adds a lot and smells just wonderful.

[@carbybirett]

Where is the pepper ?

[@SoloSailingSapphira]

This is great, you're going to be huge, keep going! This is more or less how I make carbonara but guancialle has been difficult to source in the west of Ireland so I must confess to using alternatives.

[@beowulf1312]

Ask your butcher.

[@lohikarhu734]

I can get it in Germany, in about 10-15% of good meat counters, but Pancetta is more readily available.

[@f_caudron7511]

love it

[@PCRoss2469]

Brilliant Video, great recipe and presentation; Sad you're using a teflon pan, go stainless; Can you give detailed instructions on the Ladle plating method. I try but fail every time.

[@T-oh1xt]

K, I need to stop to address something very important. That kitchen is either remodeled to look like it's from the 70's or a 70's kitchen which has been renovated. I need to know which. I cannot stop thinking about the kitchen because it is FABULOUS. Also, the Polo pussy bow denim shirt is FABULOUS. I can't even focus on the cooking because your style is so amazing. Even the mint green pots are perfect. Please provide details.

Where’s the pepper?

[@hundsbuamuc321]

Sorry, but where is the coarse black pepper? I thought that Real "Carbonara" came from charcoal burner an the coarse black pepper is important for the dish? Ciao from Monaco

[@slawaschwed]

So, overcooked pasta with onions, ham and cream is not Carbonara? 😲

[@Roldanosan]

and no onions nor garlic, I would add for those wondering where they are

Very good, just a little additional "secret" for the real fans of Italian food: Add a touch Heinz Ketchup in the end, for the same reason as you would ( mix your red wine with Coca Cola, to give it a hint of beautiful sweetness. Enjoy! 👌

[@helgi.0]

Where's your black pepper?????

[@j.badinter988]

Black pepper????

[@Chris-r5i8n]

Yes, the guanciale is covered with a layer of black pepper. You may as well cut it off when you do not like it.

Why not break the spaghetti?

[@psjonathanmok]

Because you would then break the hearts of Italian nonnas... 😢

[@barryhaley7430]

@ But why. What is the reason? I don’t see a reason with fresh pasta. But the dry makes sense to break it to better fit the pot.

[@hansemannluchter643]

​@@barryhaley7430 Use a properly sized pot.

[@barryhaley7430]

@@hansemannluchter643 THat wasn't the question. What is the reason for not breaking the pasta? I use a 6-quart pot. More than large enough!

[@hansemannluchter643]

@@barryhaley7430 Because a 25 or 50cm spaghetto can easily wrap around the fork.

You are wrong. Before ww2 there was no carbonara in Italy. The Americsn soldiers that freed Europe had Bacon with them. That was the birth if the Carbonara.

[@Fungahhhh]

We all know Carbonara is tasty, but putting it on a channel called "Healthy Italia"? 😅

[@hansemannluchter643]

What's unhealthy about it?

[@DeviantmindOG]

Pancetta or bacon are NOT ok

[@bretwiley6675]

Guancialle is just too expensive where I live. If you do use pancetta or even bacon it’s not you’re going to die or something. If it’s good enough for Lidia it’s good enough for me.

[@noyo1444]

Just do it without, its still yummy and even more healthy.

[@wisecoonie]

I actually prefer pancetta or even smoked bacon to guanciale. I don’t care about tradition, i care about taste.

[@MartiniComedian]

I read Pancetta in the ingredients, I put Thumbs Down and go cry

[@chrisbates7743]

Old fashioned recipe, nobody cares about this anymore

[@TheKongWizard]

This isn’t perfect. The guanciale is spoiled - really, it should be in 10~12mm cubes rather than the very thin slices here. Here, they are a seasoning rather than being the primary component they should be. The reason is that the cubes will, ideally, crisp on their surface but instead of shedding all their fat (as shown here), they will retain a portion within the cube. The diner then gets to experience the bite - a crisp outer, with a soft interior followed by a burst of flavour from the fat encapsulated within as it’s released. Some guan can be fried to dry state, crushed or chopped fine, then sprinkled into the pasta as a seasoning and then there’s no hard bite pieces that distract from the dish.

[@davidfields5375]

You know what happens if you break the spaghetti? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

[@Roldanosan]

nope. You are going not to eat spaghetti but another kind of pasta. The one served at hospital with vegetable broth at 5 pm

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

The English version with cream and bacon and garlic is sooooo much nicer.

[@robertTUBEbrazeau]

wrong. bacon and cream might be something YOU like but it’s NOT carbonara -bruto amaricano! smh

[@wisecoonie]

@@robertTUBEbrazeauman, it’s about taste, not about your sensibilities.

[@Roldanosan]

it is not. And of course it is not carbonara. Cream is an insult. Should be avoided

[@wisecoonie]

@@Roldanosan personally I make it without cream, the traditional way, but if they prefer it with, why not. People should relax a bit about this, it’s ridiculous. There are worse things than using cream in a dish.

Well, when you had something good food in England? ;-)
